Heat from engine

[dave64]

First warm day today , rode home from work in the traffic boy the heat comes up off the motor is this normal for a rocket in traffic?

Yes, but you get used to it. Worse if you Have a screen I'm told.

Glad it won't be a regular trip for me normally in a car , but on the occasions like toy run etc in summer will be a bit hot

imho, the engine heat from the Rocket is mild compared to other bikes that I have ridden. My old '83 Yamaha Venture would sure enough roast your legs.

You want to try a Ducati 916 on a hot day! underseat pipes, = rosted nuts

I don't think the heat is that bad. Had a 02' Yamaha Warrior before the Rocket and that thing would just cook you when at a stop. Texas heat dose not help. Rode a friends Gold Wing Sunday and the heat coming off of it was bad, even at speed. Good for cold weather riding but again in Texas is too hot.
