Default RE: Lowers and oil temperature

riding my bike in florida ,in stock for after the 903 recall, i was seeing the same temps that you report .
225 or so runniing without a fairing .
and in traffic 260

i then got the 2 into1 exhaust and the pc3 and had it dyboed and map and i now see

185 to 200 running
and 225 in traffic

i assume it has more to do with the higher fule flow into the engine which now runs richer and not as lean as after the 903 recall

I consider 300F hot, 250F normal, and 230F as OK but cool. The thermostats on my air cooled BMWs don't even open until 220F and normal is around 250-260F.
On my bike, I consider 180-190° normal, 210° max, and 230° too hot, although I've never seen it this hot. If I ever exceeded 230°, even in traffic, I'd install a second oil cooler.
