I can't understand why GM doesn't do something. None of the imports have this problem!

yesterday it was 90 out so I opened the hood of my 07 Chevy pickup and crawled up and sit on the top of the engine with a couch pillow and guess what it was FING HOT
I had an older model Silverado...it ran cooler than the newer models...probably those gosh-darned new EPA requirements............

Maybe some fuel management and a k/n and some exhaust will that help NOT
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
or I'll trade for a Ford or Dodge

Morale of the story some of you guys are really intellignet and some of you are plain friggin stupid
&nbsp\\;
i've heard if you get rid of the cross over pipe, get it dyno'd, and only ride in the winter months&nbsp\\;you won't notice it as much.&nbsp\\; you're welcome.

Unfortunately some bikes are runnign hotter than others. When it burns your wifes leg and you need bandages to repair her leg (as a buddy of mine did recently) than it's a problem. Hot and unrideable are two different things.

Some are running hotter than others apparently.

I know what the point is and you know what mine is. I need to keep it short as I can't post the longer message I tried to make 3 times. Your abrasiveness wasn't necessary.
