I have had the opportunity to take the Transalp out for a few rides now and I am getting used to having a digital temp gauge.
with the 650 it kind of just went to temp and stayed there, on very rare occasions it would induce the fans to come on, I would have to be pushing through sand on a 35 degree day.
I notice that when I am riding on these very cool days down a highway it is sitting at 74 / 77 degrees but when you sit at a robot for a while it climbs quite quickly into the 80's and even 90's.
the other day was quite warm and the fans came on twice at around 103 / 105 degrees but it does not seem to go over this.
This is quite a large variance in temp, is this normal or should I be looking at a more efficient cooling product in the radiator?
