1125 cold warning

[xtreme6669]

09 1125cr. Had this bike since new on 09 just shy 20k miles on it.

Nice day out. Around 70 degrees out. After an hour of riding and after a hard fast section if curves I looked down and the "cold" warning was on in the cluster...? I tried to scroll to the batt/temp display but being that the cold warning was on it only gives you the gear option or the bright option to look at. After a while it went off and I was able to display the temp and it was in the 150's. It kept switching the cold warning off/on for the ride home. I haven't looked into it yet but I wanted to check in here to see if anyone had seen anything like this on the 1125?

Your temp sensor is probably starting to fail.

Just an update:

I rode the bike a few times and it acted totally normal, the it started acting up again giving me the cold message periodically while riding and fully warmed up. I would switch to the temp display and watch it and it would fluctuate from 185 to below 150 where the cold message would come on. Then very rarely it would jump to 229 or 227. Started looking for a connection issue at the temp sensor but it all looked good.

Put a temp sensor in it and it's all good now.

Sensor is located in the front jug below the throttle body and injector housing, you have to access it from the top. Bosch sensor part# 0280130093
