I sent an Email to Fuel Moto, this is the reply...
Good Morning Scott,
Normal operating temperature for your motorcycle would be between 260-320 degrees Fahrenheit. If you were to be stuck in traffic or idling for an extended period of time and you exceed 340 degrees I would personally turn the bike off to allow it to cool before continuing. Please let us know how else we could be of assistance!

From: Annemasse (border of Geneva-Switzerland) facing Mt-Blanc.
The (2) upper fins of my rear cylinder are at 350°F when the engine idles only from the front cylinder, the engine oil is then at 220°F in the filling port and I measured 200°F on the outer casing between primary and the gearbox. I expect the bearing inside the clutch basket to reach 250°F, and this is why I'm using a 20W60 to see how it behaves.
Temperatures were measured using one type 'K' sensor and one IR thermometer @95% emissivity where the aluminum is sand blasted.
For info: polished aluminum was only reflecting 95°F to the IR thermometer @95% emissivity when the type 'K' sensor (in contact) measured 200°F.

Moco suggested operating temp is 180-220.
I generally run around 215, once in while get higher than that, not much though.
I run an oil bud oil cooler though.
Biggest and most expensive that there is to my knowledge.
