normally this should not be a problem for the CR, maybe something is wrong with your thermostat?

Jason -

Did you ask this on another site ?

Same answers, in order -

1. Better fuel and ignition timing maps
2. Wrap headers with good thermal wrap
3. Insulate the interior of the frame

My CR runs about 175 degrees when the ambient temp. is below 85.
Above 90 (to 105) ambient, it runs between 185 and SOMETIMES...touches 200 degrees while sitting at long signals.

look into the oil pump too; some of those had some issues with the pump not working
