Keeping Engine Temperature down
Certainly adding an oil cooler would be step one, and fan assisted even better.
Check out DK Customs for more "cooling" mods if you need them after the oil cooler. Something like the Jim's force cool fan, would be my second step if additional cooling is needed.

Ive used a fan with GREAT success.......BUT, it's an older model no longer made by a guy that used to be around these parts.
Seen temps up to 330* in stop and go on my PV, which is cylinder head temp. Fan brings it down to 240*, much more comfy.
I won't leave home without it.
There are companies that make them.

Where I live (CA), splitting lanes can be normal. I also have cylinder head fans. On a hot day in traffic, I run them. Too bad about Wards. I had to use the copy. They do work tho. Especially at that 5 minute red light on a 100deg+ day

Stuck in traffic probably screwed. But I have wondered about newer EPA restrictions choking engine down and driving up temps. Tune, porting, and cams are the difference between these and some bikes. Plus more engine, more heat.
