just wondering what kind of water temps you guys with sr’s are running… i’m running between 185 - 190 in this weather, closer to 180 on cooler days. I know that the stock thermostat opens at 170. I think im running a bit too hot since im just cruising around and not even beating on it.

80-85C is about perfect… not sure what that works out to in F
