Today ride in I only really for the ENG temp to around 240/250 in city traffic and the head temp was around 320 ish. I am guessing she does run hot since I don't have any aftermarket cooling on it yet. I just turned eng temp back on and that today. What I do find strange is this morning before starting the bike the Head Temp was reading 122F even though I never road the bike etc. anyone seeing this also?

Yeah, PV has their read-outs a bit confusing. CHT is really a calculated number (which could be why you saw what you did), whereas the Engine Temp is a direct read of the sensor from the rear of the front cylinder.

btw, 240/250 is too hot...performance is compromised at below those temps and accelerated engine wear is occurring. 230 is the max I let mine get. Also, this is from the front cylinder, the rear is going to be hotter.
