Plug heat range has nothing to do with engine temperature. Fuel mixture has EVERYTHING to do with plug heat range AND engine temperature. 800s, indeed, just about anything with a carb, have issues with the EPA mandated emissions...too lean in the off-idle circuit, the air temperature would have to be 100 before it was near correct...or maybe you would have to ride at 5000' to get it close....

So I think I read on one of these posts that I'm not the only one whose bike has a heart as cold as a wife's?  I mean, it's not all that cold yet here in the Seattle area, but last night as I was riding home from work it seem like the bike never even got warm.  Today I rode it, it is only about 50 something degrees, but again she took like about 5 miles and 10 minutes to get warm --is that normal?  I'm running the stock heat range on my plugs – I think it's a 9 – should I go one heat range hotter?
