I bought the heated grip package and recently had them installed. I have to say I am disappointed with the amount of heat. With bare hands on setting 1 (low) I can barely even feel that they're on, and on 3 (high) I get some heat but it's not huge. Anyone else have feedback on theirs? Is this...

I got my Caponord 1200 this weekend, and it rides beautifully, lots of fun, despite having to (somehow) restrain myself during the engine break in. I could write a page on how nice it rides. Nonetheless, I am really concerned about the heat blast from underneath the seat. I can only hope it...

Heyas guys! I purchased my RSV4R in june 2010, Love the Bike except for one thing...The left leg burns when riding!!! I've checked several tech spots and forums to see if anyone knows of a way to route heat off the left leg without damaging the bike. All I've been able to find is that "it's...
