The FZ is getting uncomfortably hot in town, so much so that I actually had to stop today because I was worried about it. After about 10 mins of stop-start and 10mph riding it got really baking.

I haven't ridden big bikes around town much, is this normal?

Even the 2-pokes I've ridden haven't got this hot.

Cheers, I'll check.

Wasn't quite sure if some bikes just got silly hot or not in town and I was being a woman.

Four strokes do run hot with stop starting, always worth checking the fan is working though. Even then though it will suddenly feel tropical as the fan blows all the hot air onto your legs. Wink
