CBr 600 overheating.???? ahhh

Hello chaps…My 98 cbr 600 keeps over heating in traffic and its starting to annoy…ive put a new rad,new thermostat,fresh coolant the fan kicks in at about 3/4 on the gauge…

was thinking about replacing the rad cap but thats about 30 quid wasted if i dont need it… what to do…???

Get A Upgraded Radiator Cap And I Would Put A Switch On Fan To Turn On When Riding Is Easy Enought To Do

ahh im gonna do that …when you say upgraded do you mean just a new one?

Previously did the fan cut in much higher up than 3/4 of the way up the temp gauge?

I had a 98 hornet (same engine) and the fan is supposed to come on when the temp gauge is about 3/4 (quarters) of the way up.

Plus it’s gonna be happening frequently in the recent bout of hot weather when you are stuck in traffic.

my girlfriend’s old CBR, the fan came on half way up the gauge

Its always cut in about 3/4…just fitted a new rad cap still the same …i spoke to a garage they say could be valve clearance??? buggered if i know:Wow:

Cutting in around 3/4 sounds about right mate - that’s when it should be cutting in.
