Mine varies a little. Since I switched to synthetic it runs cooler. Every once in a while it will be hot. But it goes away

 

I get heat on my right side and the oil tank is on the right. Even after an oil cooler and heat deflectors under the seat, I still feel it though maybe not as bad.

 

Isn't the oil tank on the right and left? It is on my softail...

 

Just a thought but: the exhaust is on the right side.
Hence more heat on the right side.

I put those heat defectors on too and I think they work great.
....and they look better on the bike than I thought they would.
I thought they'd stick out and look goofy. But they look fine to me anyway.

 

If your bike is stock, it might be a good idea for you to consider aftermarket pipes and a stage 1 intake. The ECU download for stage 1 sets the fuel injection a little richer than stock. This and the pipes removing the hot exhause a little faster will make your bike run noticably cooler.

 

Hey Chris,

Nice bike, Nice color... Where did U get the front wheel?

Mike

 

Thanks Mike, same to you. My front wheel is a Landmark Fat 40 spoke wheel. http://www.landmarkmfg.com/ They have really good customer services and really nice products. The wheels come with bearings installed and are ready to be installed when recieved. They are great quality and I have had no problems in 6000 miles. You can also get them in different powder coat colors too. Take a look.

at 90 degrees or so, my bike runs at 220 pretty consistantly even with Mobil 1 V-Twin Synth. Hey thanks for the link Chris, Im checking that out!!! You in the drink Chris?

 

I changed my oil to Amsoil and I'm running about 20degrees cooler.

 

I'm running about 250 F in the oil tank after 2000 miles and a stage 1 remap with lower wind deflectorsand using Harley synthetic. It was not as noticable till I put the wind deflectors on due to windshield buffeting. Have to stick my right leg out to cool off my thigh in the wind, not whileriding in the city,but while riding in the Rockies!
