Since the MOA as deleted the 674 threads from the F and G thumpers forum I can not do a search, so I must ask the members to help out in a problem.
A female club member rides a 2014 G650 GS. As the weather warmed up in St. Louis the bike has become uncomfortable to ride. The temperature coming out the radiator vent on the right side of the bike exceeds 140 F and has burned her leg on a recent ride. The plastic on the bike also exceeds 140 F which is a temperature you can not hold your hand on.
The dealer checked out the bike under warranty and says everything is working. BMW NA says "its not right" and will look into it.
The question is how many of you thumper riders have burnt your leg while riding your bike. And how many of you ride a bike without a "heat" problem?
If the cooling system is indeed working, is running a lean mixture causing the problem.
Thanks for all your reply's.
