bike running stupid hot????
my 99 suzuki gsxr750 motor seems to be running very hot. The temp gauge gets very high like 240 high when im sitting and it climbs fast while im driving it goes down but never under 200 what could cause this prob?

the fan turns on. fluid is full and new stuff. no holes in radiator and havent checked the cap. Do i just take if off not really sure how to check it. I was thinking maybe thermostat?

u can remove em, can it be bad for bikes? do you let your bike properly warm up as of now? i sure as hell dont lol.. if u live where it gets really cold i wouldn't remove the thermostat

Just replace the termostat it's cheap and will most likely fix the problem.If you choose to remove it the bike will run cooler and will have a bit less power since it's made to run between 180-190.It average less mpg too.

im going to burp the radiator again, maybe i got an air bubble in there and then if that doesnt work do the thermostat. I was riding the other day and that bitch got crazy hot and had to shut her down I will keep you guys in the loop thanks for the replies so far

Just do the thermostat bypass mod... wire in a switch parallel to the thermostat. If the bike doesn't get hot with the switch on, then you have a bad thermostat. If it still gets hot, it was still worthwhile doing the mod, and when you track down the problem you still have yourself a switch to turn your fan on whenever you want.
