My bikes run around 20 degrees higher at high altitude (9,000 feet+) compared to sea level. I am sure it's the "thin air". SJ Ron

I normally run around 225-230 on the hwy in summer, but my bike has Aftermarket pipes and has been tuned. It makes a difference.

that's higher than I'm running under the same conditions and my 2011 Police Road King is completely stock. The hottest I've had was 259 after full throttle redline running for 15 minutes...
