I have a 99 900rr and have a problem with the frame getting really hot, its mainly on the left side under the gas tank where my knee would touch (well that whole area of thee frame), I guess its from the Radiator blowing the hot air through there, But it heats the fraim up and it gets really hot to were i cant wear shorts when im riding (not that i would anyways) with out burning my leg, but when i have pants on my leg just gets really hot and sweaty, My temp gauge reads fine and the fan turns on at the right temp but i was wondering if anyone else has this problem?

 

My 99 Does The Same Thing. I Don't Know If It Gets As Hot As Yours, But It Definitly Is Felt Through My Jeans. My Buddy Has A 2002 600F4i That Does The Same Thing, And His Gets Really Hot.

 

My frame gets hot too but I always wear a full leather suit so it's not a problem.

And be honest, you do wear shorts when riding.

Maybe your bike is trying to tell you to stop?

 

No i dont I might have a couple times but thats it,

 

Mine does it as well, I can feel the heat pretty much on my whole left leg from my knee down. I guess it is normal for our hondas?

 

That's good to hear tutman, I'm just worried for a fellow rider and 900rr owner

I did put my hand on the frame of my bike after a long ride and while it was hot it wasn't "burn your hand hot"

 

Well its good to know others have this same issue and its not something wrong with my bike.

 

i have a 92 900, and yes i admit to wearing shorts when riding, so i definantly notice that the frame gets mighty hot.
might have something to do with the engine being right next to it maybe?
