Re: Samurai Engine Temp
That sounds about right.
I don't think they mind, I ran mine for most of a two day trip in the red zone (bung electric fan and leaking radiator cap!) and it's fine!!

Re: Samurai Engine Temp
Dunno what it is but mine has been up to the redzone once in the whole time I've owned it and that was because the radiator was full of swamp 
Re: Samurai Engine Temp
Mine always sat half way up the factory gauge.
Unless I forgot to turn the fan back on

I aimed for between 84 (thermostat opening) and max of 95. Usually sat at about 89 unless the rad got dirty.
