Default Bike running warmer??

2010 limited. It could be my imagination but my bike seems to be running warmer than before. I have ride on a lot of gravel roads. Could the front oil cooler be plugged and having the engine put out more heat.

If you ride a lot on gravel roads then there is a good chance your oil cooler is plugged up. Mine has been before and I don't ride on gravel/dirt roads.

Having said that, I don't think you would be able to tell an increase in heat output by the engine. It's probably just hotter outside.

You could hose off the cooler, but I kinda doubt t is really all that plugged. But it is your bike, I dunno.
