engine temp
Anyone any experiences of a significant rise in oil temperature when fitting a full fairing?

From approximate memory... #34 used to get up to about 115°c without fairing, and now it approaches 125°c when properly dressed.
Except when Craig's riding it, then the 'LO' is still flashing at the end of the race

I've taken off my full fairing for this exact reason, when static the oil temperature was more than 30 DegC higher with fairings.
