Are you familiar with temperature sensing ?
Type K
Infra Red
pt100
ntc

The first two are commonly used.
The pt100 compensates the distance to the sensor and uses 3 or 4 wires; the ntc is used in less accurate conditions.
The type K costs less than $50 with it's readout/microprocessor; the PT100 uses a controller and ramps rather slowly.
I dipped the type-K sensor in the engine oil to measure temperature and also pressed it against the engine with a rag. At 95% emissivity set on the IR thermometer (Fluke 62Max) I have the same reading as with the other sensor.

 

I use a good synthetic oil and I wouldn't start getting concerned until it hit 300°F in the pan with no relief in sight, then I would probably pull off and shut it down just as a precaution. These motors can take a thermal beating, as long as you keep it properly lubed then it's not worth losing any sleep over. JMO

 

Did you apply the flux capacitor??

 

A common sense answer..from a common sense kind of guy...I like it.

 

No! these are 'field' measurements.
You can use flux to qualify heat exchange at the stage of prototyping.

 

Ever since I put the Xied's on my 2009 Ultra, my bike runs at about 190-210 while on highways and 200-225 in city. That's in Texas, 90-100 degree temps. Xieds were the best things I ever bought for my bike.

 

If the Flux capacitor gets to hot does the giggler pin suffer damage?

 

It must be cooled with a beer, preferably one that's offered
