so does anyone elses seat start roasting after a while of riding? my temp gauge is up there...180 while riding...212 at lights (btw, it hit 235 today after my ride and after i shut her down). but the seat gets super warm! happen to anyone else?

thanks!

 

yeah its called underseat and if you dont have underseat then its called heat soak from the engine

 

lemme guess...you got it not too long ago, dont have many miles on it. Im betting your dealership is like mine and didnt fill it up all the way with coolant

 

maybe i'll put some dynomat under the seat when i take the tank off.

i did get it not too long ago...still learning about it, but the coolant level is low. they neglected to tell me there was a small leak when i bought it. whatever.

 

I thought Dynomat was for sound. Never heard of it helping with heat issues.

 

just fill it up and get on with life

 

Dynomats a good idea. Also may want to have your exhaust headers and midpipe ceramic coated. It keep the heat from the exhaust and out the tailpipe rather than radiating out and getting the engine, cowling and underseat hotter. I know the guy who does the Ceramic coating for D&D, and he says that it not only redures the radiating heat but also increase the horsepower. My (spare)headers are at his shop right now. I will do a befor and after temp reading to see what the difference is. It's supposed to be at least 20 degrees F.
