All,
We just had our first 90+ F day here in west Michigan and I'm a bit curious on what others see for oil temperatures on their V7s? I put about 50 miles on and was riding spirited, but not like an idiot/racing. Oil temp when I stopped for fuel was 280 F on my dipstick temperature gauge. This seems a bit high compared to what I see on my Thruxton; albeit the triumph has an oil cooler.
Searched and found this thread, but wasn't really looking to add a cooler:

My machine is a bone stock '14 special that I picked up in early spring. I'm sure it's running lean on the fuel mapping. Other than a richer map, are there any other things I should be doing to help with this issue?
Thanks,
