Re: KTM RC 390 Ownership Experience
Need not worry about that because though the temperature guage rises a bar or two when the engine switched off, the fan will immediately turn on and cool the temperature when you start the bike again, i go through the same thing every time and that didnt cause a problem.
As is said unless there is some issue with the electronics you should be fine, its very rare that genuinely the temperature warning will come and engine will cutoff.
But yes you will have that on back of your mind in summers and be fearing
that ok the temperature is getting too high and it might stall, hopefully that should never happen 
.
Currently there is no option to keep the fan running even after you switch off the engine.

Yes the cooling system is suppose to keep the bike under optimum temperatures, but with RC its a bit complicated because first of all the engine heat is quite higher than what R15 generates, for that also the cooling mechanism works fine, but in very rare ocassions where there is some issue with sensors, though the coolant is not really very hot the temperature guage might show higher readings eventually cutting off the engine, now that engine getting cutoff causes serious problems in traffic.
Also one more thing is R15 doesnt have a temperature guage showing the current engine temperature it has only a warning symbol which lights up when the engine is too hot but with RC it shows the current coolant temperature, so when one notices that the guage is about to reach the max level then it creates kind of a worry or fear that the bike might stall. But in real world it doesnt happen unless there is an issue with some sensors.
