My fans come on at 170... :whistle:
That is on the Buell... and yes, there are 2 of them, and they are loud as hell.

SV comes on around 215 IIRC

Got in a little seat time this afternoon. I stopped in at Yamerhaw's house and left the bike idling for like....15 minutes and I watched it while it was running and it never got over 222 and the fan would kill it back down to like ??? 203 or something like that. May have been less now that I think of it, but either way, sounds like it's in the correct range and all is good. ;)

Yeah, you are fine. Damage won't occur until 300+ degrees. Really, only older HD air cooled bikes sitting in Daytona like traffic are at risk of melting a motor.
