I realize the measurements are within spec, but it seems to be related to heat soak. I ride long distance and a break down is costly. Trying to nip this before it leaves me broke.
Last year I ran around 88-104 predictably (190-219) no problems. Except one really hot, really long hard day. Just once, at a fuel stop it wouldn’t restart. I seem to recall it starting after the 2nd attempt.
Not many miles this year, it has fresh oil, and coolant top up. It basically runs at 96 or higher, and 104 is almost common. It ran hotter today in town, then a 1000km with ambient outside temp of 46degrees vs today’s 28degress.
Now, it’s not so much the running temp I’m concerned about although perplexing. It’s the restart I’m worried that might leave me stranded.
It seems diagnosing an intermittent issue without any data is gonna be kinda hard. So maybe someone here ran into a similar scenario and paid the unfortunate cost to learn what it was.
Gut feels like it’s an air lock in the fuel system somewhere, pump being effected by the higher operating temp perhaps, failing plug? When the issue arises, it never starts on first crank. And subsequent cranks are a struggle to start.
