I had my engine flashing at me today, and my T-Max is set to make the engine light go off at 350F. Again, that's HEAD temp, NOT oil temp. My engine has actually been running a lot cooler, overall, since I installed the T-Max, so I didn't worry. I knew that as soon as I got out of the traffic jam I was in and back up to normal speed, it would stop; and it did. Getting up to a head temp of 375 or above is not an unusual occurance for these V-twins, when they come off the showroom floor set so lean.

I should mention my deluxe is a 2009 model and has had a thundermax and RS air filter installed along with V&H slip ons.

When get home i checked out the owners manual but all it mentioned was if you see the light come on any time apart from at startup please contact the dealer.

I guess my question is was this an overheating issue.?
Has anyone else had this problem.?
Could it be an issue with the stage 1 that i have had done.?

Its the weekend here so i will have to contact the dealer next week.
Looks like a quiet weekend.

Um, like 30 minutes in traffic with an air cooled engine and the light comes on. Damn those idiot lights
