Guys what is normal oil temperature on a 96 inch bike,I just come back from a ride ,outside is 90f sunny and I was on the freeway most of the time doing 80mph+
and the gage was reading 220.....?

 

thats about the same as me sometimes 225 or 230 in the hotter summer months herein fl

 

Normal.....

Sound normal. My 2005 Deluxe will hit 230-240 on scorching hot days.

 

my fatboy runs about 220 to 230 on hot days

 

My 2010 heritage runs around 225 at 95 to 100 degree days and if I let it idle while I open the doors to the shed it can get close to 300

 

Sounds normal/good to me. I have a 96" with a MoCo Oil Cooler and see up to 230 on a hot day in traffic.

 

Its about normal for a stock bike. Put a stage 1 setup and oil cooler on mine and it went down to 200 or less most of the time.
Really hot (90+) days it still climbs up to 210 or maybe 220, but that's about as hot as it gets.
Even in traffic it still stays under 230/235.

 

Hot days, 90+ in stop and go traffic with an H-D oil cooler I see 230+ a little. In little or no traffic cruising, 45 -60 mph I see about 200.

 

last year @ Sturgis on a 100 deg. day from one end of main to the other in a parade walking speed, get this 275deg on the oil tank dip stick ga. burnt the hell out of my right inner leg on the head. 1 mile out of town the temp back below 200. oil coolers dont work standing still!
