Checking on Engine Temp
I've gotten brave and taken my MC-54-250 (Helix) out on the freeway a few times and wanted to know if anybody had any opinions on the engine temp.
Running around town, in stop-and-go, and going a maximum of 45 mph or so for short distances, the temp stays pretty consistent in the "1/4" mark. On the highway at just a hair under WOT (~64 mph [GPS verified}] and between 6,000 and 6,200 RPM [270 lbs. rider]), after about 6-10 miles, the temp is reading just a hair over "1/2". The scoot otherwise seems to drive and ride just fine. There's a tiny bit of throttle left, but I'm hesitant to push it all the way to WOT and leave it there. My question for the masses is whether or not that temp is "OK" and if I can continue to run the scoot at that temp and speed for a certain period of time. |
