    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:

    @jens-eskildsen mine don't get that far even when I been off road but I am running pure water doubt it could make that much difference but we will see as I'm getting one anyway they look good 😀

      @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

            I have an universal temp gauge on my radiator, wrosk good.
            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
