Default RE: Hot Engine?

I belive you . I'm lucky i start work at 6:30 am so I miss the morning rush, and get off at 3:00 pm so I miss the evening rush as well. I only have to be on 75 from arapaho to George Bush west. I have heard that the construction north of GB/190 is murder. I have been off the bike for 4 hours now and the bike is still at 120deg.

I live in Frisco and getting around Dallas is about the same as Houston during the day, I burn my legs at the lights.
I am going to put and oil coller on this weekend as well as a PCIII, my Bike is running so lean and Hot, I need to do whatever I can...
When I asked the dealer about why it ran like that, they told me about the new EPA issues and they make the Bike lean to get around it.
They cant or should I say wont do anything but ad a PCIII or SERT

Shouldn't be to hard to fabricate something like this by yourself to get a bit cooler [sm=wootwoot.gif]

Ditto on that!

Looks like a bunch of locals in this thread. I'd be interested in getting together for a ride after we get back from Billings (after 7/10).

I traverse 75 and 190 every day, too.....
