Fried Thighs, Crispy or Original?

 

Just kidding.

 

Get heat wrap to "Tape" up the exhaust header. See those white strips of cloth on some crusier's exhaust? That's carbon fibre heat wrap.

ha ha..extra crispy pls.

 

where can i get the carbon tape you mentioned? do heat deflectors work better? basically, i'll risk getting crispy thighs and ride into a bike shop to sort this out asap.

I found that the heat deflectors that mount just under the saddle above the rear cylinder work well...........

Hi, I used to ride dragstar but i do not have this problem. though its hot, i don really feel the heat (unless at traffic junction) as the engine is fully exposed.

 

The heat can be felt at the engine at long stops but not the pipes..

ur bike air/fuel mix is tuned very lean tat why it runs very hot.

solution is tune ur carb or efi richer then it will run cooler n more power.
