Hi to all fellow spec III riders,

the problem i currently faced while riding spec III is that mi right calf will sometimes be scalded by the hot engine near the place where u pour in engine oil due to that part of the engine being protruding out. B'coz of this, i now have a phobia of gripping the fuel tank tight fearing that i might scald mi right calf esp if i'm wearing shorts that day. Do u ppl experience this also or issit just mi?

If u do, what are your counter measures? Care to help mi?

ya i agree that its best to wear the appropraite gear when riding, but sometimes wearing shorts can't be help and i'm sure u all can understand as riders also. i realise that the scalding will usually happen when i'm pillion someone coz due to space constrain, i have to put mi right feet slightly forward on the foot rest and its when mi calf will kena if i'm not careful or if i grip the fuel tank too tightly.

I also got burnt once or twice in my 3 months of riding, initially, cannot get use to it but after awhile you would adjust yourself to avoid the shiok sensation.

 

I travelled most of the time in shorts and scandal unless working:cheeky:

yeah i agree that by putting the ball of mi feet on the footpeg helps, but kind of unnatural for mi. i'm doing that anyway. Thanks for the advice
