Takes quite a while for oil temp to rise even under load. Quite normal. Ambient temperature will also affect duration. If you have oil pressure and no leaks take bike for a ride. Takes upward of 1/2 hour on road to start showing temp rise in oil even when ambient temp is 70. Not recommended to let engine idle for great length of without air passing over cylinders etc. remember these are air cooled engines.
