could someone tell me what is the "normal" oil temperature? i have -91 (oil/air cooled) gixxer and oil temp raises at max 80 degrees... is that normal?

That seems pretty moderate- where are you taking the temperature measurement?

For reference, average sump temps for my 1216 Bandit are in the 115°C - 126°C range when the ambient air temps are 25°C - 35°C.

You said 80 ??? Is that in celcius?? If so, that is perfectly fine. Oil fails at about 115 C. So if your oil ever gets that hot it needs to be changed.

yes is it 80 degrees (celsius). Maybe it is normal. in summer temperature raises about 100 degrees, but now there is -5 degrees outside... I think overheating is no problem until next summer

thanx for answer GSXR1198 and Rbike!!!

ideally you'd want to run it to at least 100 to burn off any condensation that's in the crankcase....

how do you get the temp for the OIL?

where is the best place to add the sensor.
