Water Temp
Iv'e only had my 2010 Voyager a few weeks. What little bit of riding Iv'e done I notice the temp gauge climb to the high side. Are these gauges accurate? Do these machines tend to run hot? The fan kicks on and cools it down but it tends to hang around one notch past the center of the gauge.

About normal unless at higher speeds. My Vaquero runs about 1/4 while cruising and about 3/4 or little higher while in town.

There has been some discussion that the temp gauge is calibrated wrongly and shows a higher temp than would be considered normal, (for example in the mid range at all times when the engine is warmed up).
It does tend to climb rapidly in stop and go traffic to a point around 3/4 of max, perfectly normal for this bike. |

The gear indicator is another known issue. It takes its time to indicate the correct gear but gets there in the end.
