[QUOTE="FJRJeff, post: 132784, member: 461"] I like to ride it right now. As I said, it's never been a problem in the past on short rides, and I don't have any longer ones planned that may result in additional burns, so just not a real high priority. If it happened every time I rode, I'd have a problem, but that was the first time, and the weather was unusually hot. You think I'm kidding or something? I still have red marks on my right leg from last Sunday. Wow, upper 80's low 90s. BFD. I rode 19 hours, through temps as high as 114, and Castaic California reported 130. I'd have LOVED some of the cool air you're in.... I'm happy to be back in my mid 70s Pacific NW weather. You can keep the hot stuff. Doesn't work for me. I try riding with my legs out some to catch some air, and it works great, but I can't keep them there, especially in twisties. The tank was fine until 11 or 12, then it just got hot. I think the ambient air temp combined with running the bike hard all day just overloaded it. [/QUOTE]
