Does anybody know about what temp. the heads should be at normal operating temp? I checked mine today with an infrared temp gauge and it read around 335 f. I thought that seemed a little too warm. I checked because I had a tad bit of a heat ping riding around today.

Nice, I guess Im running okay then. That was with the motor running and after a 40 minute ride in about 85 degree weather.
Thanks for the info...
