All this talk about lowering your oil temps....I'd be happy just to get my oil warm. I've even considered how I could block the flow of air, just so the bike would heat up.
My riding is getting curtailed because the oil never has a chance to reach operating temps before I get to work - it's only a ten minute ride, and the temp outside has been averaging 25 to 50 deg. I know synthetic is good for the hot weather, but what about running in cold weather when the oil never has a chance to reach operating temps??
I noticed a huge difference after the bike was dyno'd...ran much cooler. I have noticed the oil is dirty after only 3,500 miles. The oil is AMSOIL, which will go back in when it gets changed.
I think the dirty oil is due to fueling as a result of the dyno mapping.
Oil too hot?? I think not!
(ps: George, do you still have my address - I'd hate to miss out on a freebie
