241 degrees after parking my 5th gen

I know these things run hot, I've floated between 200-225 when riding previously, but now that summer is properly here (living in Texas in the USA) its getting hot hot. Running temps have been 220-235 if im not cruising at 75mph on the highway.

I'm planning on doing a coolant flush in the coming days once I'm off work, anything else to do to help with the cooling system? I've also heard of adding a fan switch to kick them on early, but I've got no clue where to start with that.

Possible to tune a 5th gen on stock ECU/electronics?

Gonna be replacing the crapped out DIY straightpipe my bike came with with a delkevic full system soon, planning on taking it to a local dyno tune place afterwards to make sure everything's all straightened out. Am I gonna need to get a power commander or anything, or will they be able to tune it on the stock ECU/electronics?

Apologies if this is a dumb question, its my second bike and the first time I've messed with any kind of modding.

'93 OEM CBR900RR

Couldn't help but stick my VFR next to it, the colors matched too well.

Only thing he'd done to it was change out the exhaust and chop the tail down, completely original/stock otherwise. Camera was a little out of focus but I'm very happy with how they came out. Owner of the bike has has it since '96 and it was an absolute pleasure to chat with him for a good 30-45 minutes after I took these, absolutely gorgeous bike.

does anyone know if it’s possible to fit the saddlebags for a 6th gen onto a 5th gen? I found some OEM 6th gen bags available for an absolute steal but I’ve got a 5th gen
