Title: Relationship between oil temp and engine temp.
Post by: chinoy on February 20, 2010, 07:11:11 am

Im looking for a relationship between engine temp and oil temp.
The idea is to get a quick idea of how hot or cold the oil is without having to measure it.

So if I wanted to get the most acurate idea of the present oil temp by using an infra red temp gun where should I check.
So far I think measuring the rear side of the cylinder would seem the most logical.
Any other ideas ?

Does the UCE have oil level window ?

Yeah I tried that but it gives you the temp of the Glass window.
Not the oil.
For now I have a Thermocouple bead in the oil thru the oil fill hole.
It takes a long time for the engine temp to stablize with the oil temp.

This bike needs an oil cooler.
