Hi Bob,
Do you think that's high ?...
My R80 hit the top of the gauge scale, i.e. over 170 celcius.
Swaped to Omega oil (= pay through the nose expensive) and it dropped to a "mere" 140-ish.
Do you have an oilcooler installed ? I have, and I do still have these rediculess tempratures.
The reply BMW AG Sweden, UK and D gives me is that 140-ish is quite normal.
I ponder and wonder; - then, how come, is it that the oil is supposed to lubricate best at about 90 degrees ?... (and, my engine ran much better, the very short time that I had the pleasure of having an oiltemp of about 90-110).

Does anyone know what average oil temperature should be on a R100GS. I've just fitted a 43ltr tank and therefor changed the position of the oil cooler with the aid of the 'Touratech' relocation kit. I've also fitted an oil temperature gauge in place of the dip stick. This gauge reads between 100 and 120 which seems a bit on the high side.
