I was just reading yet another thread on ST heat. No one ever complains of a lack of heat do they? I hadn't had this problem across three STs and figured every one is a big ol' whiney butt until I bought my '12. It was a blast furnace between my legs. After one 1,000 mile day I discovered I was burned on my inner thigh from touching the gas tank (through my 'stich). Ouch. Anyway, one day while Larry was strumming, rattlesnake herding, and helping me with a maintenance issue he suggested that I change oil to address the heat problem. I thought this might be some sort of Arizona joke/start of a new oil thread. But I changed the oil with his suggested type and brand and voila! My bike temp decreased dramatically. How much? Heck I don't know as I don't have a candy thermometer taped to my gas tank. But I was able to leave my bare hand on the tank just fine after that.
I'm wondering if other people have gotten great tips like that from Larry. Maybe we could amplify his impact on our community by sharing "Larry's Greatest Hits" here?
