You should leave it as long as it runs normally and is tuned properly. Don't tune by any magical numbers on the display, instead tune to performance and sound ONLY.

ryan t888 Hit it right on the nail.
Do not tune to a certain temp as you will be chasing that temp as long as you have the thing. Just make sure that it is nice and crisp. Just make sure it's not lean and make sure that it is getting plenty of air flowing through the fins on the head. Cutting the windshield out is a must to keep the engine running cool. Especially in these hot summer days that we are getting as of late. Just make sure that it's not lean.

Hide the temp gun until you get that engine tuned right. Not lean, not rich.
