I picked up a 93 K1100LT on the 21st of this month and have put 200 miles on it. I seem to have a coolent problem of some sort that i cant seem to put my finger on. Crusing along at 70 and comming to a stop the temp light goes on and the temp gauge is sitting just short of the red mark. Fan is running, I can feel a warm breaze comming out of the flaring, coolent level is normal, all hoses are warm. once under speed again the temp falls back to normal and the temp light goes off.
the same thing happens if i am driving on the highway and enter a town that has speeds around 35 or less. the temp will rise and then go down again after i leave the town and pick up speed.
here is the kicker.... i can drive around the city all day and never have the temp rise.
This is happening when the temp out side is less then 50 (hasn't been warmer then that yet). Now next friday i leave for key west and it wont be 50 any more.
Do i have a problem or is this normal? If i do have a problem... what the heck is it?
Thanks in advance for your support
