hey guys just bought a s1000rr 2015 do any of you get heat issues my left leg is heating right up when riding the bike is this normal
 
is that normal mate my left leg was roasting never noticed that on any other bike
 
Frame

The frame on my 2015 S1000RR gets noticeably hotter than any other bike that I have previously owned. It appears to be quite normal and I personally don't find it an issue as I always wear 1pc race leathers.
 
When I went on a long ride I found it really uncomfortable, the heat generally coming off the bike on a hot day was a nightmare I brought a Dianese mesh jacket and pants that made things soooo much better, but left leg got ridiculously hot so i brought an extra large support bandage which is comfy and shields my leg from the extreme heat of the frame. Problems solved. 😑
 
Yeah mine creates a lot of heat during town riding. No biggy really. In my eyes normal for this bike.
 
Should have ridden a 2008 R1 in Summer ... There's nothing like the fresh smell of burning leather and right leg on a summers day
 
We are expecting 42c here in Spain on track over the next few day's. I'll see how hot it gets with the rad guards on
 
Yeah it's a hottie!:rolleyes-new: ....if it's really bothering you, buy some carbon frame covers....i've heard of a few people fitting these to fix...and they look posh too! ;)
