Tempature questions-I have temp readings from all over scoot

As most of you know, I have a 72cc bore kit, pully mod, main jet replaced, and transmission mod.

I decided to take some temp readings with my non contact thermometer today, after a nice ride.

Here are my results. Outside temp is about 58 degrees.

Upper Cyl= 210 degrees
Muffler= 200ish degrees, varied much from one end to the other.
Pully/Clutch casing= 114 degrees F
Trans Casing With my special homebrew blend trany oil=109 degrees\
Trans Casing with standard off shelf tranny oil=140 degrees
Rear break=130 degrees
Front break/axle=140 degrees
Front Tire=70 degrees
Rear Tire=100 degrees

So, How do my temps look? Granted, it's a bit cold today, but overall....

I'm also designing a simple screw on mod for the forced air cooling for Elite's and Spree's, that forces more air into the cooling shroud. So in essence, faster you go, the more cool air gets forced into the cooling shroud. You dont have to rely solely on the fan to pump the fresh air.

Once I'm done with that, Will give it a go and report temp change with and without it.

Looks just about right for a 70cc, my stroker runs hotter than that in the engine and trans areas, so I'd say your good.

Great.

Now, how much should I worry about my bearings? Especially on the wheels?
