Title: Oil tank getting hot..
Post by: El__burro on June 14, 2017, 09:53:54 PM

Good day,  i am trying to understand if it is normal for the oil tank getting hot after a few miles ride.

I have no plastic cover.. should i get one?
Thanks

Yep, entirely normal and with a good run it'll get to about 90degrees as that's what the oil will run at, ish.

  its good to get the oil and engine hot,it removes moisture and condensation caused by short runs .

 I always try to ride at least 10 miles each ride,and many more at times !!
