My 1100e has an 1166 kit and 0.25/1 compression and runs about the same . I just took the oil cooler off because it was running a bit too cool in my estimation. It has been in the 90s for the last few days and i went on a 100+ mile run ((70 to 80 mph most of ther time)) and it never reached the white line so I am pleased with Suzuki's design. The last time i saw the temperature reach and pass the white line was 2 years ago just after the new pistons etc were installed. After the break in it never did it again as i remember. And I went on a 600 mile run just after it broke in also.

220 to 230 is good, the oil needs to get hot enough to burn off moisture and fuel contaminates, past 230 is getting hot and breakdown of the oil and the additives used in oil can start.
