My bike runs at 163 degrees at normal conditions at speed. That wasnt the case today. This morning the temp readout was all over the place. Never seen this before.
60 degrees, cruise set at 80 mph. Temp readings would jump from 157 to 172 to 161 to 168 to 159 etc. at intervals of a second or two. This went on for at least 30 min. When I turned off cruise control to pull into rest stop the read outs stabilized around 161-163. Riding the final 40 miles home the readouts fluctuated but only between 161-165.
I dont recall ever seeing even the smaller fluctuations under constant speed. Something is amiss! Im not really mechanical so I cant figure out if its a thermostat or temp sensor or what. Anyone experience this or know whats up?
