Subject: Motor Temperature, prices for tyres


Hi Klaus,
	I wouldn't be worried about the temperature meter.
I have a RD07 (97) and I had the same impression. It looked strange to me.
Indeed it seems that the cooling while you drive is very efficient and the
temperature stays very low.
I asked the Honda guy and he confirmed to me that it is normal.
One day I was trapped in a queue in Munich and couldn't escape.
There it was really hot and the meter went up to the level of ventilation.
There I had the evidence that the meter was working.
But this happens only sometimes. Usually it stays in the "cold area".
Enjoy your @.
Federico
