From the 9-5 BB:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
***AC System Performance Test***
- doors, windows, bonnet (hood) must be closed
- all panel outlets should be open
- engine speed must be 1,500 to 2,000 rpm
- ambient temperature must be 20-25°C (68-77°F)
*ACC Settings*
Fan speed: MAX
Temperature: 'LO'
Check the temperature 50 mm inside the center panel outlet. Read the temperature after 5 minutes.
The temperature should be below 7°C (44.6°F)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
When I did this test on my 1998 900SET, I got a reading of about 50°F after 5 minutes ad areading of 42°F after 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes etc. a reading of 42°F to 45°F matches most other NG900 owners I have talked to.
Why you are only getting 50°F is a mystery. I checked the A/C at all three of my dash vents and found that the drivers side vent was 50°F will the others were at 42°F. I suspect a loose vent connection or partial obstructed vent on the driver's side. Someday I will pull the vent and lines off to check, but for now it is OK.
Also, at just idle (950 RPM) the temperature at the vents was only 50-55°F. Only with the engine at 1500-2000 RPM did the vent teperature drop to 42°F.
