okdokey here she is!

New to R1's myself but i would say No it's not normal!...according to the manual mine displays LO if the temp is under 49degC (i think) then it sits around 75 degC after riding for a bit...Have you checked the radiator cap is working correctly? cheers Chris

Hi Jon, I fitted some oxford hotgrips to my previous bike, a KTM 950. I thought they were great, especially as you can wire them straight to the battery and not bother wiring them through a relay. if you accidentally leave them on after a ride they turn off automatically when the voltage drops to around 12.5 volts, ie still enough juice to start your bike. I got them off eBay for around 37 pounds and they were the 2007 version (not sure if the older ones have the same functionality). cheers Chris
