Having read this article, it makes me think KTM is using the higher temp switch to help maintain a 230ish temperature to improve combustion and reduce exhaust emission.

I like the idea of keeping engines cool, but is there a tangible gain for using a lower temp switch for the fan other than driving the temp gauge? It sounds like the fan would be running longer too.

Makes me wonder.
