The "correct operating temperature" is any temperature between the second low mark and the bottom of the red zone, which are connected together by an arc line. If the gauge shows colder than the second low mark after the engine has been warmed up, or into the red at any time, that indicates a problem with the cooling system. Additionally, the bike's temperature will tend to run hotter during stop-and-go traffic and cooler out on the open road, due to the cooling effect of the wind. | The "correct operating temperature" is any temperature between the second low mark and the bottom of the red zone, which are connected together by an arc line.
