Normal at 30 C is about 1/3 of full scale, unless in slow traffic.  outside temp doent affect the 1100 very much.

Poor old Sid.  Glad he healed up OK.

My 1100 on a warm/hot day and sitting in traffic goes anywhere from 1/2 to 3/4.

Was  :think1 about doing the mod for the thermo fan.
At my age " getting lucky" is remembering what I came in the room for ;)

My 1100 consistedly sat either side of 1/3 in warm weather....I put an override on the thermo fan so I could bring it into play sooner when stopped in traffic.

With regard to the fan switch has anybody got any idea at what temperature this switch turns on. I was thinking I might get one that cuts in at 10º - 20ºC lower than the original. My bike runs fine most of the time but the temp does climb pretty quickly during slow going in the summer months and I'd like to get the fan coming on a bit earlier.

Turns on at about 100C

This one comes on at 85C which was the one I was going to get but was advised that the motor might be run to cool so I'm going with OEM when funds allow.

Just checked the manual. Begins to open at 80 to 84 and fully open at 95C so I might get the one in the link after all.

Too cool can effect combustion efficiency.
