Title: Danger???
Post by: Shon on April 16, 2005, 05:33:31 PM
Finaly, nice day today . It was sunny and hot ,around 20 C.
I got on my bike and I was rideing for about two hours.I made something like 50 miles (100 km).Everything was fine.
And then i went to my garage to leave the bike and i touched the oil cap.It was hot like hell!!The whole engine was very ,very hot.I don't know if that is normal.What will happen  in the sommer when it gets to 32-38 C outside?Engine will get hotter.Is thet a problem?
I have just changed the oil and the oil filter a week ago.
Should i be woried about the engine temp?

It's normal because the engine works pretty damned hard when you're riding it.  Don't worry about it - just let the bike cool down for awhile before touching it. :)

That's normal. I let the bike cool for a hour before I check my oil level.
