RE: R1100RS running cold-update

["Minor, Bob" <MinorB@xxxxxxxx>]

If it's running well I think I would just ride it and not worry about
it.  The RID was an option on an RS, if you didn't have the display,
would there be a problem?

You could try to find an infrared temperature gun and compare your
surface temp to a "normal" one.  I'd bet a buck there wouldn't be much
difference.

Afternoon heads,

Well, I have looked at virtually everything I can think of to find the
source
of the bike running cold. Most recently I checked the temp sensor and
found it
to be connected. I checked the resistance when it was cold and also when
the
bike was showing 3 bars on the temp guage ( 2.96 when cold and 3.50 when
at 3
bars) so no smoking gun there. Folks have suggested the TPS as well as
the
fuel pressure regulator, but testing both are above my pay grade and
equipment
as well as my equipment. My dealer told me that neither the fuel
pressure
regulator nor the oil temp sensors fail regularly so it will be
interesting to
see just what the hell it is. Any other thoughts or ideas from the
brotherhood
are welcome but there's nothing else I can think of and i'm sick of not
being
able to ride, so it's off to the dealer on 10/21/08.

Many thanks to all who have tried to help me with this.

Regards,

Will
