    Sounds right with the reading, mine is just above where the line in the display starts to thicken, but will get hot in deep sand or slow technical trails.

    Photo for clarification, mine is usually well below this reading:

        @terry-tz mine doesent read at all and my bike warms up real quick faster than my 4 stroke it gets really hot but just seems that it's the way the engine likes it tbh since I don't cruise any where it's always full throttle If the roads clear

              Goes on pretty hard, but fits both my Dt and my wr250r

                            @declan maybe it's a slight miss measure they are made in China and cost next to nothing do they measured by pressure

                                yea you can measure temp with pressure @declan don't know how accurate it is low temps that what made me wonder but it's probably just inaccurate at low temps dou to chinessium
