Default '13 GS operating Temps

Does anyone know the designed operating temperature range for the coolant?
What position would you set the HVAC controls to force on both electric fans on at high speed?
Thanks in advance!

Granted it has been rather cold here -- say 30-50 degree F here -- and I only have a few hundred miles on my 13 GS (new to me), but I have been monitoring my coolant temps via the DIC so I too can know what is normal. Cruising around I am seeing somewhere around 192, at stop lights or traffic it may creep up to 200-205, and then it comes back down when I begin moving.

Not sure of the answer to your 2nd question, sorry.

That's about right. It will get a little warmer when the ambient goes up. I suspect that as long as the compressor is running, the fan probably is as well. Never checked to see.

I usually see temps around 190 when on the street. In the summer at stop lights or pushing it after short runs I tend to see anywhere from 205 to 220
