Hello, I have an '08 Rocker-C VTWIN 96" with a dakota digital instrument cluster. It reads the engine temperature from the sensors on the bike and I routinely see engine temperatures at 270F when riding at 55mph in 70F weather. If I get stopped at a light the temperature will rise over 300F. If I see it get near 330F I shut it off unless I can keep rolling and cool it down.
I don't have synthetic oil in it, do you think that would help?
Harley seems unconcerned and when I was at the HQ in Wisconsin four months ago I forgot to ask. Doesn't seem to be any published information. Local dealer's do not seem concerned.
Thank you so much in advance.
