Look at page C-2 of the service manual.It explains how the cooling system works.Thermostat on at 165 degrees.Fans on at 221 degrees below 15 MPH and 244 degrees above 15 MPH. My engine temp averages 203 degrees.
I'm running power vision as well. Thanks for the info guys. I just down loaded the new map and it's running well. Thanks for the info on the temps. I'll have to check mine out.
Now that the weather hit the mid 70's and 80's, I'm surprised at how often I have heard the fans kick on. I heard them kick on twice coming home sitting in traffic. The temps come up and the fans kick on...get moving and they go off. It's like they were meant to do that! HD got it right.
OK now I'm a little concerned. I just installed Dresser Duals, high flow AC, and PV on my Limited. I am now getting engine temps from 260-280. Mind you it is 92 degrees today, but even on the highway with all vents open it was still 268. should I be concerned? The bike runs great otherwise.
After a 30 minute ride today I am convinced I have a problem. I attached a photo of my Power Vision screen when I finally got home. My legs were burning from the heat and the fans will not turn on. I don't know if this thread is the right place to ask but does anyone know if the power vision tuner can disable the engine management system? I notice every time I flash the ecm it turns off the EITMS. I know that is a separate system but if it disables that, what else could it be doing?
I have an email request into Fuel Moto and an appointment at the dealership tomorrow so I am covering my bases. I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this and if it was related to tuning the bike.
Thanks.

You have HeadT selected as well as ET. HeadT is a calculated value and really doesn't mean much. 295 is warm for a wethead. With a wet head and the coolant temp shows -40 indicates the thermometer isn't working. Your dealer is the next stop to figure it out.
