    Hey all, Hope you're all keeping the rubber side down :thumb: I confess, I've really neglected my bird for a good while and after replacing the thermostat (really high temps), I just had to tackle a problem which has returned. I had really high temps a few weeks ago and noticed how awful the...

    Any thoughts on what you guys would view as normal running temperature? Being a new Blackbird rider, i'm trying to gauge whether my new bike is uncomfortably toasty, or whether it's just the new norm' for me to adjust to... I'm aware that the consensus is that they generally get a bit hot...

    Anyone ever try this? It sounds REALLY simple to install and well worth the cost.

    Hey everyone! I just finished a major rebuild on my '02 Bird, and have been on two rides so far since. Unfortunately, I was not able to fix one of the issues I was having before the tear down: overheating. When stuck at lights in the hot weather we're already having, the temp readout will...

    Firstly sorry to the mods if this is the wrong spot. i googled and didn't find a suitable answer. My question is has anyone ever replaced their cooling fan successfully without pulling the hoses off the radiator. My enthusiasm goes as far as pulling the lower fairings and releasing the radiator...

    Hello, i am new to this forum, and new to Bird ownership. Had my 2003 Bluebird for 3 months (previously owned cb500/vfr750). About 2 weeks after purchasing the bike i noticed the engine temp creeping up during town riding, getting right up to 124+! I took it back to dealer (under 3 month...

    Hi just wondering if someone could help me out. I'm pretty new to the forum idea and owning a Blackbird. First of all, i bought her 1 month ago and she was badly maintained. 1997 model 29000 miles ( not likely) and the guy was looking £1900 but thankfully I got her a good bit cheaper than that...

    Hi. I have been running a little hotter than normal. Usually, my 03 (15,000 miles) runs @ 185 deg F in all but the hottest weather. Lately, my tempt has been rising and staying up higher than normal - usually gets to 215 or so and then the fan kicks in and keeps it there. If I get to an open...

  13. Engine / Airbox / Exhaust / Fuel Delivery
    My bike sat for the last 4 months or so, due to being dropped. It's finally back together so I took it for a ride, only to find that the fan isn't coming on. It got hot to the point of almost overheating. I shut it off and let it cool down. While cooling down, I noticed the fuse was blown...

    Trying to see if there is enough interest for Blackbird owners out there that might be interested in a radiator guard. Please post up questions and thoughts. :thumb:
