I understand those that said that they'd rather not know. I just use it for informational purposes. After a while you learn where it's going to be. Fun to watch. Amazing how much cooler the oil is if you get caught riding in the rain. Do you suppose there's something to water cooling???

HD tests these things in the Arizona desert. It's not going to get hotter than that where I ride.

Ride Safe
