Purchased my first BMW in 12/2019. A 2013 R1200RT. Very fine bike, a joy to ride. I have owned many different cycles in my lifetime. From air/oil to liquid cooled. I live in Arizona and have ride in temperatures from 35 to 105 degrees. My RT runs great in all temps but the temp gauge runs from 0 when cold to just below mid point when warmed up. My concern is even pulling a hill in 100 plus temps, the gauge has never been above mid point. The engine appears not to have excessive heat, engine heat against my legs is mild and not uncomfortable.
I am just blown away that in high weather temps it runs so cool, especially for an air/oil cooled engine. It is this normal? Should my gauge be running a littler higher?
