Hello,
The engine on my 2000 M2 seems to run very hot. I'm not sure how hot the Buells run so I'm asking. I also have a 1993 Sportster that doesn't get as hot as the Buell, well, maybe if it's been running on a very hot day. I bought the Buell used and finally got it running. You can smell the heat. Is this normal? It seems to run fine but am concerned about the engine heat. Was wondering about my oil flow but the oil light goes out right after starting and I see some foaming in the oil tank which I'm assuming is the return bubbling.

How hot is too hot?

Any ideas?

Thanks
