high engine temperature
I have a '07 zx 14 with 750 miles. Operating temps at highway speed show 5 bars and 6 bars during low speeds. Is there anyone with suggestions on how to reduce temperature, reading some of the posts shows that this is apparently very common.

Mine does the same thing sometimes, espically in heavy traffic and stoplights. I think I am gonna try the Muzzy fan blade, water wetter w/ distilled water, and staying out of the city!! LOL!

Installing an aftermarket exhaust to get rid of the cat's is a biggie. Also installing a ZX-10 front fender helps by providing increased airflow t the expense of some aerodynamics. Water wetter and distilled water or engine ice for coolant helps.
It has been in the mid 90's here and mine runs 5-6 bars in town. It's like a shark. It has to be moving constantly. Any traffic jam and it would overheat for sure. Big power makes big heat.

Ran mine in FL heat last summer with stock exhaust. Temp gauge up, never overheated though.

Check out what "dubious" did. I think it looks "badass" , lighter? cooler? I'll be looking into this mod.

Thanks Lucky!
get rid of the cats, zx10 fender, water wetter or other surfactant like engine ice, dual fans will help if idling.
