hi just wondering if anybody else has this with there R.

ive had a recent engine and oil change.. when i got my R back the oil temp was a bit below half.. which is fine, about 2 weeks ago i took it to stoke cruise and did a couple of fast starts and on the way home i noticed it had creeped to just slightly under half, but it just stayed like that so thought nothing of it, last nite i took it out for a spin proberly did about 110mph but not for long then when i got home i realised it had crept again (but only ever so slightly) to just a fraction over half.

it might be something or nothing but just wanted to know if anybody had any ideas?

nice one AL.;-)

just checked water and it was pretty low so ive topped it up, will the temp go down by itself? its funny coz even over nite the temp just stays put where it was.

temperature should go down by itself, your low water level porbably caused it

very useful stuff

rite, i think its the gauge which which is fooked!... the gauge constantly sits on about 110 and never goes down (even when i turn the engine off and leave overnight) but sometimes when i put my foot down for a bit or do a few fast starts it creeps up even more (but only a fration!)!! my water is fine, my oil is up to level and so is my coolant.. it has to be this rite? or could it be something more serious??

if its reading that hot when its first turned on could either be the guage or the sensor would think more likely the sensor or wireing thou
