For information - I went out yesterday on a mildly hilly ride and took a bit more notice than usual of my oil temp. gauge. My bike rattles for the first 5 or so km - don't know why - and I noted that the rattle had gone away at 60deg C at oil tank (under the tank on the XT600E). So 60deg C seems like a good temperature and can be achieved in 5 or so km obviously depending on speed, hills etc. Later in the day, on a few hills (say 200m 300m climbs) the bike was running at 80-90degC.
