Those of you with Low Temp Thermostats

Either you are in a very cold area or you are not pushing it enough. In 60~70 temperatures I have noticed that behavior. So long as I kept the engine under 4000 RPM. Above that, it'll move up. My morning ride 80 degrees) and it was just back of the 8. In the afternoon temps (100+) I'm in the middle to the back of the 0.

The ambient temp has been about 80 lately. But in the past the same below 4K RPM driving definitely resulted in the needle tilting closer to the next hash mark. If this was a one off I wouldn't have thought much of it. But post t-stat I don't ever recall the temps tilting left this consistently. And like I said in the other post its peppier.
