Bought a Food Thermometer Today

Who can guess where I plan to place the sensor.

I'd be curious to know how hot it typically gets inside the gas tank. Of course, I'd also like to know how hot it is in front of my kewl metal air cleaner, compared to the AAPTS in the front of the vehicle. I'm sure that the engineers considered this when they tweaked the engine management, but I wonder if the extremely hot engine compartment temperatures we have in the summer months contribute to the diminished performance on hot days. Maybe the AAPTS doesn't give an accurate enough reading to get the fuel mixture right. My spyder definitely runs better on cooler days. That said, it still runs pretty well on hot days too.

I was careful to call it a sensor instead of a probe.

First place I would put it is in a cut of prime rib.

I wish I knew Mo Lee,, I'm thinking somewhere at the exhaust area, but just a guess of course..

X-Joe Otherwise :dontknow:

You're partly right, however you should be disqualified since you know my thinking.

Ok I located the food Probe in what I'll call the Spyder Oven and put the digital readout in the drink holder where it can be seen.
Took the Spyder out for a small ride and was suprised how low the temps were while you are moving. The Spyder gauge said 77-80 degrees ambient temps during the ride and the area around the charcoal cannister was only 96-100 at 45-50 mph. Interstate 75-80 mph the temp was 115-120. every time I would stop the temps would climb fast, as much as 25 degrees while waiting for the light to change. Parked it would climb to 145-150 in around 1 minute with the engine shut off. Stop and let the bike idle it climbed to 160 degrees and when the Spyder reached 5 bars it actually started dropping when the fan came on.
We are supposed to have temps over 100 this week and I plan on checking it again. Then I want to try a few things to see if it will lower the temps. ie removing the lower splash shields and etc.
I must admit the temps are lower than I expected.

Very interesting results indeed. It will be even more interesting to see what happens when outdoor temps are over 100. Thanks for sharing this experiment with us.

"We are supposed to have temps over 100 this week and I plan on checking it again. Then I want to try a few things to see if it will lower the temps. ie removing the lower splash shields and etc." Inquiring minds want to know.

It Gets Hot!!!!!!

I have also measured temps on my RTS. I live is SWFL and it stays hot here all summer with90+ temps everyday. I used an infred to measure at my right foot and it was 126. :yikes:

Yea I had played around with the IR gun, but what I'm really wanting to know is the temps under the plastics near the top.

Nah--- no need---- prime rib----- 10 seconds per side on the grill and she's DONE!:thumbup:
