I read and hear that the ST puts out a lot of excess engine heat on the rider's legs. I live in a very hot area during the summer. How bad is the heat and can it be corrected for hot weater riding? thanks
I live in Mesa, Arizona and trust me I know hot riding.Brave Salmon said:I read and hear that the ST puts out a lot of excess engine heat on the rider's legs. I live in a very hot area during the summer. How bad is the heat and can it be corrected for hot weater riding? thanks
Steve: dont tell me that you ride without a helmet sometimes too - like someone else said, "you can wash sweat off, but not road rash". The only time that I go near my bike with shorts on is if she is getting her after ride soaping. Not meaning to flame you , but, dude - dont do that!STeve1300 said:I only notice "HOT" when riding in shorts at slower speeds in temps over 90. Just on the lower calves. I can avoid this by repositioning my legs until I can speed up. On a scale of 1-10 on "how big a problem is it?", I give it a 1... no problem at all. There is zero discomfort with jeans or proper riding pants.
Riding an 05, I really don't have a heat problem people are talking about. On a really hot SC day, waiting on a red light, yes, I can feel it, but it's never to the point where it's uncomfortable.Brave Salmon said:I read and hear that the ST puts out a lot of excess engine heat on the rider's legs.
