1330 Engine Temp

[rcturner]

I am in the second day of ownership of my 2014 RT-S. I have taken two rides thus far and the temperature has been quite cool. The thing I have noticed is that it seems to take much longer to warm this engine up than my old 998. Is it normal for this engine to take about five miles of gentle riding to get up to temp when the outside temp is 45 degrees ? Once up to temp, it holds steady and shows no signs of anything being abnormal. So far, I love the bike.

Glad to hear that you're diggin' it! :thumbup:
yes: what you're seeing is normal.
The cooling system has about double the capacity of the 998s...

Will be a few more miles if the OSA temp is in the thirties.
