OIL TEMP should be at least bioling piont for water
I see alot of post saying the lower the better on oil temps,but it should be at least the temp of boiling water to rid Moister from your engine/ oil. - Eric

moisture doesn't have to be 212F to evaporate. Blueprint 'normal' oil temp is 180F.
Even if the oil tank temp is low, the oil is getting a lot hotter coming down the cylinder head drains, so there is even more opportunity for the moisture to vaporize. the trick is to get it out of the crankcase before it condenses on another cold piece of metal.
Just ride it. Repeat often.

as the oil circulates through the motor the moisture is expelled out of the breather. the cylinder heads and the lower motor gets well above 212 degrees. this is how water is evaporated out of the motor. if the oil gets up to 180 degrees, the motor has been run long enough to expell all moisture.

The one thing that most don't realize, that when you do shut the bike down at what ever the oil temp is, all the cooler air if its not dry cool air it will again replace all the moisture back into the cases and oil.
Its just a visious cycle.
