My oil temp gauge pegged out on a long ride and let me know to pull over to let it cool for a while. Come to find out, I had an intake leak and was running too lean causing it to overheat.

Maybe its just fun to watch in traffic jams.
Funny,I had asked this question before in other oil temp guage threads and never got an answer.

My answer is the oil temp gauge doesn't affect the way I ride. It's useful to monitor how the bike operates, much more than the outside temp and that's about it.
