Default 102* in Florida on my 96"

and IMO it does not run any hotter than my 88" did last year.&nbsp\\; I know there are those that swear the 96" runs hotter and it makes sense to me that it would but my "seat of the pants" impression is there can't be that much difference they are both hot but that's part of owning a Harly.&nbsp\\; I sat in stop and go traffic coming home from church looked at the bank and saw it was 102..bike was hot but I sat at the same intersection on my 06 RKC and it felt just as hot.&nbsp\\; By the way I LOVE my 08, faulty fuel filter canister and all.

HOT is HOT, whether it is an 88in,96in or liquid cool. They all make you feel like you are roasting chestnuts over an open fire!!!

When it is over 100 it is just plan hot and I am not sure a cooler bike would make any difference...

Funny ain't it, we bitch all winter long for ridin' weather, and when it hits we bitch about how hot it is.[:@]&nbsp\\; DON"T move to Montana!&nbsp\\; It's perfect here, summer, winter, fall, and Spring.&nbsp\\; Just put on the tires with 400 sheet metal screws per tire, and stay warm ridin' in the winter.&nbsp\\; Switch back in spring to the slicks.

these engines are designed to run with an oil temp in the 220 to 230 range.
