Tibadoe- good call. I missed the model year! I think the CVO's and CA models from 2009 had cats but other touring models did not.

 

14.0 A/F where, flat across the whole map, or just in the cruise range? Cooling with fuel is a waste of fuel; you have to get down to the low 13s before you begin to see lower head temps, hence lower oil temps. Your gauge may or may not be faulty, if you put it on the highway and pounded 75 MPH for 50 miles straight, then 290 oil temp might not be out of alignment. Your oil gets hottest at highway speed for extended periods, the faster is cooler theory is only good to roughly 60 MPH, beyond that the engine starts producing more heat than it can shed, and it gets hotter the faster/higher RPMs you turn. An oil cooler would help your situation. I would verify oil gauge, and tune first, and go from there.

 

ok i am using the auto tunes supplied 02 sensors and the gauge is a roger mcewan i got new off ebay i wonder if i can calibrate it ?

 

Put the sender in boiling water, if it reads about 212F, its pretty well calibrated. Since you read 290 I'll assume you got the sender mounted correctly in the pan. So what about that 14.0 A/F you quoted, is that just cruise or flat across the whole map?

 

I just installed the guage from Parts4PowerToys last week. Nice and it appears to be accurate.

 

thnx

 

so i went down to 13.5 went for a ride and it never went over 230 now i just need to adjust the trims change the oil and puttin on a oil cooler tonight oh by the way at 13.5 it runs alot stronger

 

I am not sure what "boxes" you adjusted in the pcv program, but you can probably lean out the boxes in the cruise area of it (the pcv)...say, 30-40% throttle at 1800-2200 rpms (I am just thowing out those numbers to give you an idea of what to do) so that at highway speeds when you have lots of cooling you lean it out some for economy...

 

You never did respond whether your 14.0, now 13.5 A/F was straight across the map or just in the criuse range.

 

i had it at 14 all the way across now its at 13.5 and autotune is making its trim adjustments bike barely goes over 200 now with a oil cooler and royal purple 20-50 runs strong as hell i will run it like this for a few days n check the trims again save that map for city and make a 14 for highway
