Having decided that oil temp is not an issue on the NT, but wanting to still learn things, I have decided to terminate my oil temperature checks for now till I get my new probe, (got scared putting expensive calibrated glass probe into crank case) but here is my last check today. Unseasonal warm 48 degrees and sunny in Spokane. Rode 20 miles in 30 minutes. Rode into garage and turn engine off instead of letting her idle till the fan comes on. Oil temp was 162 degrees. Turn bike back on and let idle till fan turns on and off once. Oil temp 184 degrees. I intend to continue riding every 7-10 days if possible through the winter when I can and logging the trips. I also think its a good idea or at least cant hurt to let the bike come up to fan temp before shutdown. Summer temp readings should be interesting.
