"What -me-worry" ? dino oil doesn't brake down until it hits 350 F ,Our bikes run about 270-300F on the hottest days and that is the temp at the head ,not the oil sump. , If your paranoid , run synthetic oil it's good to 500F . I'm much more concerned with watching my oil level ,than the temperature.(why pull over if your oil hits 120C -248F ? the boiling point of water maybe 212F but the boiling point of motor .oil is about 572F. Your oil pump raises the pressure on the oil which further raises the boiling point). Bottom line ,a temperature gauge is a waste of time and money unless your into Steampunk .If your bike is running to warm ,it's more likely your carb is jetted to lean,or your running 50 weight oil thinking it protects better than 40, which is a mistake.
