What oil temp is to hot?
What oil temp is to hot for normal riding. I think my oil runs around 210 in the summer, to hot or normal?

Barely warm... I've gotten over 300 down South a few times before changing some stuff up, and IMHO anything over 275 is getting close to the edge.

Mine runs about 240 when in high heat and elevation. I was at Street Vibrations a cpl of years ago and I hit about 270 when rolling back in town. That was hot and I changed the oil when I got back.

In general you don't want to be above 280 for any length of time.

That sound's pretty good. Mine runs about there in the summer. I've seen temps higher than my Heritage in my C6 Corvette.
