temp range

[Michael woods]

So I've got my 76 gl1000 scrambler conversion on the road and it runs fantastic I have a aftermarket temp gauge and sending unit and it seems to range between 200 to 210 degree Fahrenheit on a 90° day this seems hot to me .so my question is does anyone have an aftermarket temp guage and what do your temps normally run

Seems a little high if you have the stock 82C° thermostat.

That's what I thought too but I cannot find any info on your subject has new thermostat radiators not new but it is a very low mileage 23k I really don't know what's causing this unless I'm having symptoms of a bad sending unit

so, whats wrong with 180F? i would want it around 210 if possible.

[Michael woods]

Thahat I'm asking is 200 to 210 ok cause that's what it's running

That temperature should be fine in a pressurized cooling system, I wouldn't expect overheated/boiling until around 260F
