Temperature of motor

[nickinegreb]

I just recently had the motor rebuilt, and I never got to ride the quad before because I bought it with the busted motor. My concern when I rode it was that it was getting too hot after riding. I heard they run hot though, Does anyone know what temperature the motor should be at after riding for about an hour. I measured it with a digital thermometer and it read 315degreesF

Yupp, normal. Air cooled engines get hot.

Install an oil cooler and it should drop the temp some

Oil cooler fan and air ducts she will be right aroun 200

How and what exactly did you measure?
The oil?
Cylinder/fins?
Exhaust?

 

[duneracerweston]

my exhaust has measured at over 450 before

Got a similar question on what is max temp to watch out to avoid busting the engine, Ive measured temp after 45 min at the spark plug, it read 400F - using a trail tech computer that has a ring installed in the spark plug. Warrior 350 03.

Ive got close to 400 before on mine with the trail tech temp gauge on the plug...

I even have an oil cooler with fan and it still gets up there sometimes
