Oil temperature
My ténéré's oil temperature can flirt with the
130 degrees mark of the temp indicator.
First l drive bike from cold about 10 kms to warm up then l let idle for about 5 minutes.
Looking at the temp l see 125° and still rising,
l decide to get some speed and see how fast temp goes down with airflow at about 100 kms/h
from 130° it goes to 120° the first 1000 meters
then 110° the next kilometer,
then it remains 110° for the rest of the COLD winter day trip(my hands were freezing as my red nose!).
Does anyone know if this is normal on a 3AJ ?
And are the engine alu protection vent holes playing a role for oil temp?
