Title: Engine temps ?
Post by: turbocamino on March 08, 2014, 07:15:03 PM
In a car we get our engine temps from a coolant reading... 180-200 range generally exceptable.  On our fj's what # is considered hot?... and are we talking oil temps ? Cant say i recall seeing an oil temp gauge on a bike :unknown:

Our air cooled engines run hotter, the oil temp will scare you if you put a gauge on it.  :shok:

  Thanks guys...info on the RPM cooler is just what i was looking for. Im typically a warm weather only rider (these days) and eng temps of mid 200's dropping to 160's, sounds perfect. Money well spent.
