OSA = outside air temperature

I'd have no qualms whatsoever. Enjoy.

That'll be Ambient then?

Yes correct ambient temperature. Outside air vs engine temperature.

Understood. I think new members get amnesty for their first posts. 🙏

Rather than wait for the inevitable this is it.

Update: Almost 2 months of BMW ownership the nervousness has subsided, sort of. The bike is awesome in many ways so that’s a good thing. I have no regrets, that’s also a good thing. I found the bike that’s basically brand new with panniers and meticulously maintained so I couldn’t pass on it. Still all good. Now for the for the dilemma. I think I’m a bikeaholic. While I really enjoy the RS I’m not sure it’s the only bike for me. How will it be on a long tour? Will it be comfortable enough? What about the gas mileage? I think I would have fell in love with a Kawasaki mark III. Remember those? Meaning I could have rode just about anything and loved it and wanted it. I still really enjoy riding my 2015 Aprilia caponord, it offers so many features and fits me so well. I’ve decided the 2008 Tuono is going for sure. I guess I will have to start working on the wife to convince her that 2 bikes are okay and its positive part of my 12 step program. In addition now I feel compelled to add exhaust and other Farkels to the RS.
