        <![CDATA[ My Tourer runs hotter than any of the two other water cooled bike I&#39;ve owned.  Does the Tourer run on the hot side normally?  I am just judging by the
amount of heat the engine radiates at the end of a ride.  I have checked the reserve tank and it fluid up to the upper mark.  I am concerned that I should
remove the radiator cap and make sure it is filled up to the neck.  There is something I never understood about the reserve tank:  If it is at the upper level
for fluid, does that... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ I run synthetic oil and my fan kicks in quite often when in heavy traffic or when just idling along. I agree, I&#39;d worry more if I didn&#39;t hear it.
<br>
But then I have a VLX and a 750 Ace that rarely ever kick on. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I definitely notice the heat off my T - especially in the cold, cold rains of winter. It can be a real life-saver on those cold rides. What I notice, however,
after switching to synthetic was that my cooling fan was more prone to coming on while I was physically feeling less heat radiating directly off of the engine
itself. My thought was that the synthetic oil was just conducting the heat to the coolant more efficiently, raising coolant temperatures while lowering engine
block temperatures.... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have heard something about air pockets in the coolant and letting the bike run with the cap off the filler to make sure the air bleeds out.
<br>
As for heat, my T ran hotter after changing to synthetic oil and a couple others that responded theirs did also. Don&#39;t know what that means but when I
switched back to Honda oil the fan came on less. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Don&#39;t change the thermostat just because the fan runs.  My fan runs all the time when at a light, or in traffic, or am stopped for a while.  The fan is
supposed to run so that is actually good.  Usual problem is that the fan doesn&#39;t run. 
<br>
<br>
Changing coolant is really pretty easy, just sort of a pain with the way things are put together.  The real challenge is to completely fill it and get all the
air bubbles out. 
<br>
<br>
Also, you don&#39;t really need to get all the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I am surprised to hear that your fan seldom runs. It is not uncommon for my fan to run when I stop at a light. I wonder if I should replace my thermostat? I
have a Fall trip planned and I think I will change the coolant before I go and maybe replace the thermostat. I have a Clymer&#39;s manual but any tips I should
know about changing the coolant? ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ What Fred said.
<br>
<br>
To answer your question on my part....I have noticed an increase in heat emitting from the engine lately, but not until the temps started to reach 100+,
understandably. The only time it ever boiled coolant out is when I mistakenly overfilled the reservoir on my &#39;86 VT1100C above the top mark and I was stuck
in traffic. But once it did it that one time, it never did it again.

			<description><![CDATA[ Phaedrus,
<br>
<br>
Not to contradict what Stan accurately stated, I changed the coolant in my T yesterday.  If you are filling up the whole system, you fill the filler neck up to
the top first than fill the overflow to between the two lines on the reserve reservoir.  Then with the caps off you let the engine idle for 2-3 minutes after
which you blip the throttle 3-4 times to bleed the system.  Fill up more if necessary.  Then screw the caps on.
<br>
<br>
No, my T does not run hot.  The fan... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The reservoir works on a vacuum much like the auto&#39;s do. The upper mark is for warm engine level and the lower for cool engine level. The engine will push
coolant into the reservoir when it expands from the heat, and then draw from it when it cools down again. The only way for it to fail is if there is a leak in
the system. It never hurts to check the level at the filler neck to be sure. Sometimes when the system is serviced, or there is a vacuum leak, air can get into
the system and it... ]]></description>
