    I just resuscitated an '82 XZ550 and got it back on the road (rebuilt starter clutch, carbs, water pump, etc...)

    My temp gauge needle points to mid-gauge while moving and rises to 2/3 Hot when in heavy traffic. It doesn't seem to matter what the air temperature is. What temperature do others' engines operate at ?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    What you report is pretty much standard operation procedure. You only need to shut it off if the needle touches the red.
