    comnpared to other vn/vps it is a bit high, but compared to mine it is bloody good!! mine usually always sit above 1/2 in any weather but can get close to 4/4 in traffic... but just bought a davies craig thermo switch so ill give it a go as you can adjust what temp the fan comes on apparently... if all goes well i will tell youse about it...

    run a cooler thermostat if it is overheating... usually fixes the problem
