Just wondering what is "normal" oil temp for a gs? Mine got to around 250 today and was wondering if that was about right?

A friend/engine builder today told me 180-200F is optimal. I just installed an oil temp guage so I'll see for myself.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.
1985 GS1150ES stock with 85 Red E bodywork.

250 is getting up there, but 300+ is not unusual if you get stuck in traffic on a hot day.Ed
To measure is to know.

My GS used to get this hot on a long run or sitting in traffic.Originally posted by Nessism View Post
I installed an oil cooler and it runs much cooler now, making me feel much more comfortable.Comment
