Hi Britmog

Thanks for your polite suggestion.
I think this is a Fahrenheit vs Celsius issue.

BREAK-IN AND OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
As with any air-cooled engine, heat is the major enemy you can encounter. Engine cooling is based on air flow over the cooling fins.
Your engine cools as air flows past the cylinder fins and the oil circulates.
Sitting still for extended periods of time — at a crowded bike rally in traffic — will prevent air from flowing past the engine.
Situations like this should be avoided anytime possible — but especially during the break-in period.
S&S suggests maintaining oil temperatures of 180F ( = 82 degrC ) -250F (= 121 degrC )

Which is exactly what my situation is now.
