Hey everyone. Maybe I wanted perspective but here I am. I care off a Super Tenere which has no heat but no power. I love this machine, but I definitely seem to get a ton of engine heat on my right side boot. Maybe it’s just something I have to accept for all the positives this bike gives otherwise. Maybe I notice it more now because I’m in Georgia.

I think it is not heat coming off the engine directly but rather heat radiating off the muffler and other exhaust elements. No mere coincidence that the heat is only on the right where the muffler is. A fellow over on ADVRIDER fabricated a shield using cardboard (yes cardboard) and claimed it alleviated the problem. Perhaps someone will produce a more sophisticated shield.

fwiw, i get no perceptible engine/exhaust heat from my 2016 GS. Not ever.
but then again, I'm an ex-KBrick Rider.

I live in south Georgia and I get a little more heat coming off both sides of my 16 GSA, as compared to my previous R1150RS. Barely noticeable though... just think of the advantages during the winter months!
