Oil Temp

    Its probably not gonna drop below 100 at those speeds. If it is above that temp you can get it
to drop by cleaning out the radiator/flushing the system. The Rieger ran at 120 on the highway till
i purple powered the radiator, now it runs 100-105 oil temp all the way up to 120 or so (mph).
