Temperature Alert Setting

I want to ask most of you that when you get stuck in traffic do you know at what temperature does your engine light start to blink for your engine running hot?

I know on my 04 road king when the temp is getting too hot the engine light starts to flash slowly then as it gets hotter and hotter it starts to speed up the flashing until it stays solid,so is this just afeature they have done on 04's?

Hey Mark- it's a T-Max thing. And you can set it to throw a CEL at whatever head temperature you'd like (mine is set for 325).

I have a set of Dakota Digital Gauges. The Oil Temp gauge can be set for 232 or 278 degrees. When your oil temp exceeds the selected setting, the display flashes until the oil cools below the set temperature.
