Fireblade water temp
Had the car out for the first time this week. Everything fine, nothing fell off  , but the water temp i think is running a little high for my
liking. Its a 893 blade, micra rad with the original micra temp switch and fan fitted . The temp seems to hover around 110Deg according to the smiths
temp gauge fitted onto the original Honda temp gauge.
Does this sound OK to you guys ????
24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not

My inderstanding is that this is too high. I am suffering the same problem with my CBR1000.
Fireblade 'runners' that I have met on a couple of track days have talked about temps of 85-90deg - even on a hot day.
Let me know if/how you solve the issue.

Have you made sure that the range of the blade sender is compatible with the range that the Smith's gauge expects to see, all senders
don't necessarily have the same resistance range.
If it is actually running at 110c then yep that is a bit high, usually see 75-85 on the road and 80-100 on track depending on conditions.

Also make sure you have no airlocks - this is a popular one for high temps.
I think compatability is the problem though. If you can get genuine blade clocks (like ours) to check it's calibration you may be on the right
track.
Good luck
