Engine Oil temperature in R50

Post by Michele Varcasia »

Dear friends,
which could be considered a normal and correct oil temperature with the engine hot and running , in a R50 ?
I have mounted a termometer in the engine dipstick and it shows 80°C and 90 °C under stress.
Thanks
Michele

Hallo Bmw friend

I ´m driving a BMW R100 from 1981 (so it`s an Oldtimer) and I have the same question
for my Motorbike, but I can tell you that my Oil is going up to 110 to 120°C and normely
it`s between 80° and 95° C

I hope I could help you little bit.

Greatings from Manfred
