Does anyone know what the max oil temp is when the bike is running at say 70ish on the highway for an hour or so? I know the oil pressure gauges that you can buy and screw into the oil filler threads have a red line at 120C (248F) but does it really get that hot? I have read in Guzziology that using synthetic oil can lower the temp by around 10% but I am using dino oil at the moment.

When I used to see how fast my modified Le Mans 2 would go I frequently had my temp gauge
just under 240 degrees Fahrenheit . For what it's worth , motor oils are only tested to the boiling
point of water , synthetics handle higher temps better . But not a lot of bikes run oil temps that
high under normal riding anyway . Peter
 
I have one of those dip stick oil temp gauges in the Honda, the most I’ve seen is about 100C ( 210F) that’s after some 100km/h + driving, I’ll slow down to 80-90km/h and it drops back to 90/95C

It’s a back road dirt bike.
 
Guzziology states between 240-270F for a V7 so between all your posts and the bible, I believe I have a close enough answer, thanks much everyone.
