QUOTE=wingwing;3357081]probably not...(06 and up)
The GL1800 Temp gauge is not really a gauge
.. don't count on it to move if the bike is merely running
hotter than "normal"..
.. it will not move until the bike is about to boil over
then it will go up suddenly.
It works more like an idiot light disguised as a gauge.

WingWing, I didn't want to high jack the original post, as this has nothing to do with belly pans and overheating, but I have been smelling antifreeze since last fall. Nothing shows under the bike and the guage still reads as it always has, just below mid point. With what you said, could my bike be running hot and I don't know it? The coolant level was fine (when I checked it) I should probably check it again though.
