After Ive been out for a ride on my sv...(and Im not talking huge distances or anything) I have started noticing that the frame gets hot...and I cant remember if it always did that, or its something new. Can anyone assist? Is this normal?

After driving my car, the bonets hot.

The heat from the engine and exhaust that is conducted through the mounting brackets and hangers and eventually heats the metal frame of the bike.

Its normal Wink

Yes, it's normal. Particularly when the weather's hot which adds to the heat generated from the engine. The frame of my ZZR gets burning hot sometimes - too hot to touch - and I can feel it burning my legs through my trousers.
