Getting Hot in the Pleasure Area

I bought my 00 RSV R in the spring when it was cold outside so everything was peachy up until summer came.

Every time I ride it City or Highway the crotch area gets really hot.

I can feel the Hot air coming from underneath me hitting my ankles and my legs.

Is this common ? What should I do to get rid of that heat should I heat wrap the exhaust pipe that runs near the Shock ?

Or is it just me ? I cant ride in any gear in the summer I allways go out in my Tshirt and shorts + flip flops. The temperature here gets to 30 celsius.

I reckon 90% of motorcycle crashes EVER would of been avoided if all the bikes had a bomb rigged to blow in the event of a crash. Its just a matter of how you handle yourself and your bike on the road. I understand the traffic and how random it is. And I will never crash.

All your gear will help you not get scratched and maybe save a few bones from braking. But if you go down thats it you are not fit to ride again. If you get back on it you are dumb for not learning your lesson. You should be able to keep yourself upright 100% of the time if you let that 1% chance of going down creep into your mind its all over for you baby. You just accepted the fact that **** will happen for your and that you might have no say in it. You will take risks and you will try to get pleasure out of getting out of harry situations alive because thats just what motorcycling is for you.

I am another animal. I ride to get somewhere, I ride to not crash and I love to see other people do dumb **** and not get away with it.

If I go down despite all my attempts to control myself and my bike then I prefer the 8 weeks in the hospital and some fresh skin just to remind me that It was not enough. And then I give it up for good.


PS. I was joking about the flip flops. They are not good for banging gears.

Its not that simple. You wont ride to crash instead you ride like there will be no oil spills or obstacles in your path. You take the corner hoping nothing will happen. There are other ways of riding fast and safe. You have to make your brain notice all the bad things that can happen on that road and gauge each corner as you go.

For example: Van in front of you is a BAD thing you should not ride its tail.
Spits of oil on the road BAD BAD if the truck or car that was spilling stoped the spits will be puddles of oil. etc etc etc.

You scan for this and if your result is Litle Risk of unexpected event then get loose and slide that bike trough the corner.

Using mental power and awarness can go a long way in any activity. When you start riding they tell you to use your brain not your instinct.

Once you use your brain and learn you hardwire that info in you. So you will change gears without thinking to much about it you just order it from the body.

You think you are done when you have it mastered. And then you just enjoy the ride. Big misstake buddy You need to keep thinking about it. Try to find ways of staying safe.

Its just a fact. Experienced riders with 20+ years of hard riding are less likely to crash. Well let me tell you that you can create artificial experience if your mind is powerfull enough.

Experience tells a old banger that cornering behind a VAN is prolly not a good idea.( No windows to see trough, way over your head so you cant see above it)

I dont need experience to tell me that when I am in my ZONE

anyway....

Can someone tell me if 00 RSV's blow hot air from underneath the seat? Thanks
