Greetings Friends. A question for you all. On warmer days, I notice that my inside left thigh starts slow cooking from engine heat. Whether I'm moving along, or at a light when the fan kicks on. I don't feel the heat on my right inner thigh. This seems odd to me. I would expect more symmetry or balance. How about you all? Do you experience this too?

 

Never had that problem on either side with my '91, even on a long ride in temperatures up to 106 F. No idea what's going on with yours.

 

I wonder if I'm missing a baffle or diverter, or something?

 

You may be missing part #2.

 

Good thought. I'll check that out today. Thanks!

 

Hello pcmaher! Last week has been pretty warm weather in my town, 25-27 degrees celsius, and I noticed the same issue with heat from the engine. Also part no.2 is there, thanks for suggestion, Tim.
Any other ideas?
I'm also interested in improving cooling (eg: fan for oil radiator?) because in my area summer days can serve me up to 40 degrees celsius (105 F).

 

Bigger rad perhaps, or a slightly larger oil cooler?

 

I also checked for the baffle / shield. It's all there. I looked over the entire front end and see nothing out of the ordinary. Everything looks stock and unmodified. I'm thinking it's an airflow characteristic of this model.

 

Are you wearing shorts, by chance?

 

No. I always wear full gear. No matter how hot it is. ATGATT.
