Default Hot Seat

Hey guys,

I've noticed that my seat tends to get rather hot while riding. Is this normal? I'm concerned that I may have an electrical issue as the battery is right underneath the seat. Can this also be due to a faulty battery (although I don't have any charging issues).

Any assistance or insight you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.

all throughout my crotch area and inner legs gets hot as heck in traffic! soooo idk guess it might be normal.
i didn't notice anything wrong when I looked around the gas tank, battery, or anywhere else in that area.

Um, yeah obviously between your legs is going to get hot, especially in traffic, because - oh, I don't know - there's a MOTOR there?
