How do u prevent ur right calf from being scalded while riding spec III?

[kucari]

engine guard never cover the top part of the engine lah which is exposed to the calf....

How about removing the termostat to allow the coolent to circulate all the time to keep the engine cooler?

 

According to the shop i went to service, he said there are a number of super four riders who do this as they complain it is too hot. Besides, he said, the purpose of the termostat is to keep the engine warm to a certain temp before allowing the coolent to cirulate. That purpose is meant for countries with winter where keeping the engine warm is an issue. He left the decision up to me. So i removed the termostat but am keeping it incase i decide to put it back on.

 

Is he right and Is it ok to do that?

 

 

Anyway, the heat from the engine to my legs seems to be less hot now..

u mech may be correct but i dunno. i only know that everything is there for a reason. maybe if mi thermostat spoilt next time, i might remove rather than replace it.

haha..juz got my Spec III also lehz,a lot to learn from bros and sis here.....Spec II also will burn right leg de mahz...

if super4 is hot, then all class 2 bikes can be supernova liao..

 

anyway, if you adhere to the "school's teaching", you shouldnt be scalding your right calf.. because you shouldnt had our right leg on the ground.. it's supposed to be on the rear brake when bike is not in motion..

 

IMO, only can becareful about this.. else customise a carbon fibre piece to stick on it.. then you can rest your calf there if you like..

When did i ever say i cannot tahan the heat coming out of the engine, bodoh? i was scalded by the hot engine surface la.

u try placing ur bare skin on the engine after riding and if u dun cry out loud then i give you the right to call mi girl girl all you want ok?

 

btw pls PM me for the time, date and venue of where you wanna perform the stunt.

icic. For mi case, i usually pillion ppl who carry barang barang and as a result, i am always made to sit very much to the front so that mi pillion can put their stuffs on their laps. hence, will kena scald if i wear berms.

As i said above..

 

I used to get scald my right calf too when i first got my ride.. but not now..

 

I guess you purely just cant adapt to your ride.. ride more often, get used to your ride..

else try scalding it more often and soon, you'll develop a thick layer of skin over the area and of cuz able to show us the stunt you mention..

 

Cheers..

At first, you 'assume' that i didn't adhere to things taught in school, put my leg down and kena scalded. Now, u 'guess' that i can't adapt to my ride. Any third 'guess' or 'assumption'??

Btw how u know that 'scalding it more often and soon, you'll develop a thick layer of skin over the area'? u used this method rite?? No wonder you no longer scald ur right calf liaoz. But sorry, i dun tink i will adopt your personally tried and tested method coz my brain is not that small.

 

Cheers too...
