Oil cooler - Pulse Adrenaline 125

Hi
I have a pulse adrenaline 125 and when I'm riding my bike in the traffic, the oil temperature climb to 95-100ºC. I installed a oil temperature sensor, so I know the oil temperature at every moment, at least, a estimated temperature.
So I decided to mount a oil cooler (bought in taobao.com), but I want to install a thermostat too, because I think it is a usefull piece.
I read in the manual and it says that the oil temperature must around 60 ºC, but I think that value is too low.
What do you think? anyone knows if that temperature is the most recommended?

There is some photos of the oil cooler.

cheers

Very much agree that a oil temperature gauge is essential, and only wish I had one on my Jialing, which has only a warning light that presumably goes on when the temperature is too high. But how high is too high, and what is normal running temperature? I won't know till I find a way to do this.

In other words, I'm in the market for such a gauge too.

thanks in advance.

HI
euphonius I just bought this one http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...id=p2759.l1259
It is small and very easy to fit!
The brazilian manual of the STX 200 says that the oil temperature must be around 60ºC. However I searched the internet, and found lots of threads telling that the oil temperature of a bike must be on the 80-90ºC range. Some guys say that 80º C is the minimal temperature to a engine work safely and properly.
I know that the highest temperature that don't cause damage to the engine is the best, because the engines works better in higher temperature. That's why I doubt from the 60º C, it seems to low for me, but I'm not a specialist.
Should I trust in the brazilian manual?
I need to know the right temperature to buy a thermostat. I have to know from what temperature I want it fully open to let the oil flows through the oil cooler.
Another thing, the bike without a oil cooler, even run out of town at 60-70 km/h raises the temperature to 70-75º C. I think that any pulse adrenaline that test the temperature will not show values near 60ºC.
thank you

I wish I could be of help with this, but I have really no idea what the ideal running temperature would be for your Pulse. But you are right: 60C does seem low. Looks like a pretty good temperature gauge you've found. I'll be looking around for something similar, starting here in China.

cheers!
