While out for a ride today I had to stop for 5mins at a level crossing. After a couple of minutes I noticed the engine temp climbing rapidly. I shut the bike off at 103 Celsius. Once the train passed I restarted and continued my journey without any issues. Should it be running so hot at idle? The ambient temperature was only 5 degrees Celsius. I'd be greatful for any input. Thanks

My Diavel gets that hot. You'll get a "Hi Temp" warning if it get too hot. You could check the coolant level just to be safe. Mine is leaking.

Thanks, When it hit 103 I thought it was going to boil and started freaking out.

Hi for an 899 is anything over 120C (248F). Anything higher than that and you'll get the flashing HI indicated. These bikes run hot.

Cool! Thanks for that!

The fan should kick in at about 102-103C to cool it off, but it helps a lot more just to get the bike moving.
