Default 107" Running HOT?????

I have had my Fuel Moto 107" build now for about a year. I know that more power equals more heat, but how much more heat? My bike used to run about 180 degrees warmed up to about 200 on a hot day, (100 or so). After my build I noticed it ran warmer, but didn't notice it too much since it was Fall/Winter, (for So Cal anyway). I have road it a few times now in 90-105 degree temperature and the bike gets up to 230 degrees, (oil temp) constanty. One time when I was riding at the warmest temp 105 degrees the bike actually shut down, (no throttle) and I had to pull over until it colled down a bit. My question is this normal for the bigger builds?

No, that is not normal. Did you get it tuned or are you running a canned map?

Does this have the stock cylinder heads on it?

Shutting down from heat is not normal but 230* oil temp is not a problem.

You need a decent tune, I would suspect.

How was the bike tuned, and do you have an oil cooler? Engine build aside, running in 105 degree temps it is going to run very hot. We have seen completely stock bikes run oil temps 250+ and cyl head temps well over 300 degrees. You are more than welcome to contact us for assistance
