     I wanted to get a mesh guard fitted across the mouth of my fairing lower so posted a query on the Ducati.com forum about concerns over my oil temp and their reply was that all the enclosed air cooled motors run hot. A temp of 140-150 is hot, but is not worrying (unless there is another, hidden, problem) under "normal" running conditions.
 Like Fordie says, if you're gonna be stuck at a a standstill for any length of time, kill it until you need it.
