I have a Craftsman infrared temp gauge that I use for checking: head temps, water temps, air temps....you name it and it has been very reliable. Temp difference from that under $100 piece of equipment and the $2500 I have is less than .5 degrees. Not too bad :2vrolijk_21:

I'd like to get one, mostly to see the difference that changes make in the motor and exhaust temps.

As for head temps, there was an article in American Cycle about some Namz leads that attach to the O2 sensors that trick the ECM to richen up the fuel ratio and help cool the motor. The original temp of the heads after 12 min of running was 260, after the installation it was 243.

To get back to the ORIGINAL subject!

If I get an infrared temp gauge what are the "normal" temps for a 110?  I see many postings comparing them to stock engines, comparing those with a race tuner to those without, etc.  Is there any agreement regarding a particular temp that the bike simply should never exceed?   What is the most critical, oil temp, head temp, exhaust temp, etc?

Thanks!

1220.58 °F is the melting point of aluminum.  If your CVO temperature approaches that I suggest you turn off your engine immediately!   :P

I wonder at what point the synthetic oil will break down (or ignite).  Probably a lot lower than 1200 °F  ;)
