100 degree heat with an air cooled engine

[Ulvetanna_imp]

You guys are more adventurous than me . . . I would never ride under such scorching hot conditions. It's just too darn uncomfortable with a helmet on. An OAT of 80F is my limit and even then it is a bit too warm for me.

Btw, I encourage the use of a EOC temperature monitor. I posted about this device in detail in a previous thread. Such a device is quite small and inconspicuous, and very easy to install. It is made by Trail Tech ($43). I am using two of these devices on both of my air cooled bikes, (CB1100 and a Triumph Bonneville). They work very well, informing me of my EOC at all times, (where 250F plus is not uncommon with minimal air flow thru the cooler), as well as the indicated OAT before starting the engine prior the next ride.

i would not be able to ride much if that was my limitation lol

Yea me either. My riding temp range (so far) has been -9 to + 113 and every degree in between.

i do not say i am the most adventurous rider in the world but i rode a 1983 xl600r honda from ketchikan alaska to los angeles one summer

plenty of rain and cold

we used to do a death valley ride in the middle of winter to tonopah nevada

guys had to thaw their bikes out to get them started in the morning

you add wind chill to that and it gets real cold
