I love y'all :-) You kill me...

On a short ride yesterday, I got up to about 180. That will vary from bike to bike and condition to condition. The gauges go up to 300 degrees. If you're close to that, ya might want to let 'er cool down.

Because the temperature probe isn't submersed in oil, the reading can deviate a bit. But measuring the oil temp at any point along its journey through the engine is a good way to consistently monitor the health of the engine's oil.
