My temp gauge is actually not currently working, however when it was working I have seen it approach 300 but not go past.
plan on installing an oil cooler soon but can’t afford it at the moment

I had similar readings my first summer on my 11EZ. Then I installed a cooler from an '84 1150 and never saw it go past 210. My 'thermostat' is a piece of cardboard twist tied on in winter.
BTW, the 11E was designed with a cooler in mind but not supplied. No need to run lines over or around the engine, it's plug and play. However, you will need to modify the filter cover or replace it with an 1150 cover.

Okay new update, same symptoms but now the bike does not need to be hot. it still starts and runs fine in neutral but in any gear symptoms are present. really feels like intermittent firing on some cylinders. gunna start with coils/plug wires and see if those check out.
side note still going to install oil cooler as that may have caused whatever is having an issue to go bad

UPDATE FIXED:
went to pull everything apart to start troubleshooting and found the orange/white wire going to the 2/3 coil was broken and barely hanging on.
went through and replaced all coil connections/soldered/reconnected and shes back to running smooth as ever. still going to get an oil cooler installed, but problem is fixed for now!
