have a 94 fatboy,evo motor, 32000 miles. engines seems to be getting extremely hot after driving short distance. any advice?

 

Get a oil dipstick with a temp gauge and see how hot it gets. Is this a new bike to you? Have you had Harley's before? These bikes get hot and it doesn't take long. If you've noticed a change in it from what it used to be, then yeah, you might have troubles.

 

Yeah, you haven't said if you've had it long. I have a 96b that supposedly runs cooler and my leg feels like its on fore at a stop light in this 100+ degree weather.

 

Get the Capt Itchy crotch cooler. It works! I got the one with the Harley wings embossed. No more legs on fire.

 

Big +1 on the Captain Itch Crotch Cooler. They work great.

 

Agree, more info needed. Having said that, motors that are getting hot, more so then ever before is usually because of 1 of 3 reasons. Head issues, cylinder wall/ring issues or oil circulation issues. None of those 3 are any good.

 

"Extremely hot" -- as compared to What???

How about a little history, about U and the bike..

U question for us is like calling a DR and saying, "I am SicK", whats wrong with me..!!!

That's too funny

 

I believe the oil dipstick is about $25-35 at the dealer. Good investment for sure.

From my experiences, the oil temp will get about 200-225 degrees on hot days (when moving), and could exceed 250 in traffic.

 

Hey,
I put on cat-less header pipes and the heat was gone for me. Still gets warm but does not make my right leg sizzle anymore. This is on my 2020 RGL. Best thing I have done to it, probably will be the best thing I will ever do to it.
