33/3

i find 28 is perfect temp. love the pool at that. great for riding, not hot, not cold. last weeks little ride in 3, not too bad just my nose runs like a tap. bike loves it, just zooms. uses more fuel in cold, anyone else notice that.

Yep, I noticed that too. Colder air gives more oxygen, the EFI adjusts for that by giving more fuel. Also oil temp is low for longer, EFI gives more fuel for that. Trips get shorter too.  With the bike having more zoom we may be working the throttle a bit harder. For the winter, the stations here get different petrol. Might contribute to increased consumption as well. I use 1 liter more in the winter, even though I have not ridden in less than 5°.

Even on long trips mine drinks a little more in winter, I put it down to oil temps too. After all the handbook does say blank part of the cooler off & I never bother. You'd think they'd have fitted a 'stat to control it wouldn't you?

Agree, it should have been fitted with a thermostat. Today at 28° it took over 10 km (including some idling while adjusting tire pressures) to get her up to what I consider operating temperature.

Winter and 27c. today. London Summer 17c. maybe looking at a hot Summer here.

The regulating valve in the engine is designed to control the flow of oil through the cooler like a water cooled engine thermostat, even with a thermostat you would need to regulate the winter temps.
Even motor vehicles when we go and drive up in the mountains need some cover up to regulate the airflow to get the engine to run at optimum temp.
When driving in the snow I litterally cover the whole radiator to get the engine temp to normal operating temp, and the interiour heating efficiant (driving 4x4 trax)

Hottest day of the year...

Went swimming with my son. And what the f....!
Near my home, it was 36°C, and at the seaside it was 21°C. Just ~25km away. But what is worse - water was only 5°C!!! FIVE!!!! 

Nothing to do - had to swim in the lake.

P.S. Just to understand how hot it is for us - usual summer is 21-25°C here.

Tere tulemast Soome lahele!!
Around Kotka, 80 nautical miles northeast from you, sea water temperature was 24.4-26.7°C!!

@T 24 Jussi, I think all cold water from you came to us...
