Hey, it's all good Chris - no worries
I have, in fact, procrastinated enough that I haven't actually removed the belly pan yet.
Doing a mini Muenster run tomorrow so I think I'll get a better feel for the whole situation (the bike had no trouble with oil temperature yesterday cruising around town and in traffic near MotoLiberty - ran right around 260 pretty much the whole time - so who knows?!?)
i think you're fine...leave that belly pan on it...it looks sweet. plus it helps with downforce on those fast straights.

Haha! Yeah, after a full day on the back roads and a 45 minute stretch of slab pegged the whole time at 6 grand, the 620 ran in between 240 and 260 so I'm happy
(easily amused, what can I say
).

I be watchin' the Therm-O-Meter, but it hasn't been THAT hot, & I really haven't been stuck in toooo much traffic, but the ol' PS is showing in the 220 - 230 range

But the PS1000 has an oil cooler, as the M620 not so much

i wonder at what point the benefits of going faster actually end up producing more heat? i.e. when would you be at the equilibrium point of maximum amount of heat dissipation versus heat produced by the engine.

...but may still need to go faster. Standing still in traffic is a killer with or without oil coolers and radiators for water cooled bikes.
Being anywhere close to 300 deg F and over can't be good for the oil and metal parts of the bike in the long run temp light on or not, guage inaccuracies or not. Synthetic oil helps, and oil cooler helps especially in our area but sucks during winter when the oil temps don't want to go to normal because of it. IMHO.

O.K. let's be clear about this: If I ride in town, I'll get stuck in traffic inevitably. I don't like it and my bike apparently hates it. Nothing I can do about the situation unless,
A) I never ride in town, or
B) I don't ride the Monster in the summer.
Neither work for me so I guess the bottom line is my 620 will run at the upper limit temperature-wise if I'm stuck in traffic.
Out on the open road, temperature is not an issue.
Neither is speed.

I don't think we've given enough credit to the engineers on this subject. These are motors and are designed to endure/produce heat. As long as your light doesnt come on I think it'll be ok. I ran my 620 into the 300F range a few times but it never overheated

I'm so sorry, Lisa, but you overlooked the most obvious & best answer:
C) Move to Northern New Mexico

Damn it, why didn't I think of that?
