I have a 1987 CBR1000F Hurricane. When I ride my bike after several minutes of riding i begin to feel very hot air exhaust on my legs near my knees and thighs. Other than that it runs fine. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance!

 

So, after the bike is run for a few minutes, it gets warmer?

You may have to be a little more specific on your question. All bikes get warm and will transfer warm air onto you.

You didnt mention what you were wearing while riding. If your wearing thin pants or shorts, the heat will feel very hot. Wear apropriate gear and the heat should't be an issue.

 

That sounds pretty normal. Even when I'm cruising I can feel hot air coming from the engine (That's even with jeans).

 

Ya you should feel heat. That's the heat coming off the engine

 

i would worry if that didn't happen while riding

 

Thanks for all the input guys...i'm a newbie and looking forward to gathering more information and advice...thanks again!

 

Would you anyone suggest using a particular type of coolant like Blue Ice? Would that make much of a difference in the engine heat?

 

Maybe...as above tho motorcycle engines run hot so there is going to be heat. Is your temp gauge showing abnormally hot temps? If not then dont worry about it.
