I'm sure yours is fine and working as designed, it's just that the fan assist OC doesn't affect this "My only complaint with it is that on cooler days it takes a long time to get the oil up to temp"...it's the cooler weather that causes that not the fan assist! anyways, both ours kick on every single time we ride, Winter, Summer, Spring or Fall..providing of course they're ridden long enough to get up to operating temps, which for us is almost 100% of the time

 

Pardon my ignorance but I didn't think there was a fan assisted oil cooler available for the twin cooled M8's? I thought the water pump was where the OC would go?
Thanks.

 

you are correct, these responses have been for the OP's oil cooled engine concern

 

Ha, good point. Can't believe I didn't think of that.

 

Just an update - went for a quick ride for a haircut today. Forgot to check if the fan was running right after starting the bike, but when I got to the barber the fan was running, the oil temp was 165, and the air temp was 86. That seems a bit early to me to turn the fan on, but I'll continue to monitor and update.
