Hi everyone.
I have an mp3 500 2013. Done 20k miles.
Had it serviced 4 months ago. Apparently all fine.
Noticed recently when I ride it the temperature gauge will be near the bottom. No problem there. I then drive 20 miles home including motorway at 60 to 70mph.
I never used to hear the fan much, but now it's running all the time. And the temperature gauge rises during the journey. When I get home it's one bar from maximum.
Also the check engine light used to come on intermittently. But now it will come on and stay on 5 to 10 minutes into my journey and until I complete the journey and turn off the bike.
I know the weather has been hot recently but I don't remember this in the past during summers.
Also - hard to describe. But the bike sounds more rattly? The engine note sounds higher?
Drives fine. But worried it might just over heat and stop working on the ride home. There's motorway miles so I can't risk getting stranded or worse.
I'm sending it in next week to get fixed but from the description the mechanic is a bit unsure what it could be.
Any ideas? Things I should specifically check?
Thanks everyone
