If you look again at my write-up, you will see that it's not the actual oil temperature, the temperature gauge I have is an oil cap, so it doesn't actually sit in the oil itself, it's in the clutch cover. It did read cooler with the oil cooler, so it's all relative.

My ride report on the oil cooler, with the ambient temperature pretty much the same as yesterday's, and rode the exact same route, and style.

Without the oil cooler, oil temperature was 80℃(176℉), with oil cooler 66℃(151℉).

I know this sounds low, and I know it is, since the oil temperature gauge is just kinda mounted in the clutch cover, and your right. But it's all relative, and there is a definite temperature drop.

Bottom line is I'm happy with it, and cooler oil is always a good thing.
