Fz6r gets Really hot around my legs when riding??

[spacecitygroover]

I notice that after 30 mins of riding.. My legs start to get really hot from around the pegs, and and fairing area.. Is this normal??

The temperature on the gauge says between 200-210 degrees. Is this normal??

I think so, but you shouldn't notice the heat so much from the engine unless you are going really slow or stopped.

yes the when I first got mine I thought 200-210 seemed hot too but the dealer told me that was the norm for the 6r so dont worry it.

max operating temp is ~242F according to the owner's manual. you're fine. 210 is not unusual on a hot day and/or when the bike is not moving.

depending on how tight you keep your legs, you may come close to the crankcase(?) which of course has hot oil going through it. my leg occasionally gets hot as well.

mine runs around 200..

My legs get hot when riding at very slow speeds/at a stop. My temp is normally around the middle to upper 180's on freeway. Around town 215 or so... The highest temp for me ever was 228. If it gets to 240ish.. Might want to stop for a bit.

The sensation you are experiencing is the raw sexiness the bike gives off.

Nothing to worry about unless your a virgin.

What??? You're supposed to wear pants??? I thought going pantless was part of embracing the bike's raw sexiness!!

 

[flyingminno]

Sexiness does give off a lot of heat byproduct!!! All joking aside, you should check the coolant level. For the past couple years it only ever touched 214 during riding twice, then I saw a 219 while on a average hot day on a street. Turned out my coolant was low, filling it solved the problem for me!

I was gonna say, he might just be getting really "excited". This bike does that a lot.

I get excited seeing it so sexy and in it's glory every morning.. I had bathed it Sunday morning
