Just posted this over on the beartooth forum too, weird. My KZ900 manual lists the oil pressure specification at a temp of 140 degrees Celsius, which converts to 284 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything under that is probably in the safe zone. I would think you'd want it to be 212 F or above though, so as to vaporize any moisture contained in the oil.
