I'm wondering what kind of engine temps you guys are seeing? On my 14 ultra I'm cruising around 235 degrees F. I was doing some ride like a pro work in a parking lot & max temp went to 296. Just wondering what others are seeing? Thanks

I usually run about 220-240 depending on weather, traffic and such. Never really checked but there was a couple hot days this summer I was in stop n go traffic and that temp of 296 wouldn't have surprised me. I don't always ride with the unit so can't check or even remember to.

220-240 is normal. In hot stop and go traffic close to 300 is common with air cooled engines.
