Most likely a stuck thermostat if your oil lines are't crimped somewhere...are you sure the oil lines aren't pinched anywhere along the rocker? If not then you will need to drain the oil, jack up the rear right (not using the emergency jack) and remove the rear right tire to gain access to your auxilary thermostat.
To remove it you'll need some rather large wrenches. Soak the fittings in WD-40 as long as you can because I've heard of some people loosing threads. Don't plan on replacing it just yet. I'd remove it, put it in a pot of boiling water, see if it operates properly, and if it isn't, disassemble it and clean it out real good. Then put it back together and try it again in the water to see if it's working yet.
If not then I guess it is replacement time. Good luck,
