I'm talking oil temp, sorry I didn't post that, on my last bike and this one I have Dakota Digital Gauges and it has a temperature gauge with the sensor in the oil pan

I have a 2011 FLTRX with the power pak 103 motor, I have the zippers performance air cleaner, a race tuner , Cycle Rama 575 cams and Bassani Road Rage II FLH-777 2 into 1 pipe,the 103 motors come with the Harley oil cooler, on the highway my temperature stays between 230-245, around town 255, my 01 never got above 235 in town and 210 on the highway, I know these new bikes run hotter, but is this typical, I live in Florida, hot temperature, high humidity

without knowing how many miles you have on your bike it'd be hard to tell what's the right temperature for it. i know from my experiences my past few harleys get to running cooler at between 4,000 and 5,000 miles. our bikes were tested in extreme temps, like down near tuscon in the heat of summer=hotter than hell environment. i would not know what temp is correct as i've never bought into the oil temp dipstick thing. rack up some miles on it, and you'll likely observe that the motor begins running cooler, smoother, better fuel mileage and more power at the aforementioned miles. if it doesn't i'll gladly send you a coupon for a burger king whopper at normal price.

Thanks, I am under 1000 miles so that could be part of it too, is that a whopper with cheese ?

One of the reasons I went back to a 96" from the 103" was because of the heat from the motor. You can get a 96" to run with any 103", in fact my 95" 03' RK would beat the pants off most 103's today. The bigger they get, the hotter they are going to run. Wonder why the new 103's come with oil coolers?
