695 doesn't have an oil cooler stock, so that's something you can add to lower temps.

And +1 on the ECU, it's a totally different bike. You'll wonder how you ever did without it.

I added the oil cooler already, but it only works effectively when you're moving, good tip though.

Saw no benefit from 91 over 89. Ideally you should run the lowest octane you can without knocking.

What about attaching a couple of computer fans to the back of the oil cooler?
I was thinking on a switch that you control, just switch it on in slow to non moving traffic.

although as I ask this, I have a vague recollection that a member tried this, and they said it made little to no difference

TurboMonster did this to his M900Turbo bike and he lives in Arizona.  Air cooled bike, in the desert, with a turbo.  Uh...yeah, he needed something more to help cool the beast.  His testing revealed very little to no improvement over not having any fans on it.

I'd imagine that given the size of the cooler, fans on it wouldn't help much anyway...

also depends which way the fans are blowing and facing.. like most car fans pulls the air from the rad rather then pushing it towards..  i'm sure he knew what he was doing though.. i've got a fan switch on my aluminum rad for my dragcar..
