Default Normal or ???

On a trip with my 13 day old 2012 FLHTCU and today I noticed my stock A/C cover was blue an very hot.
Sound normal or? My 08 never did this.

Performed any mods on the engine, exhaust, or fuel management at all?

Like a champ, pings more than my 08 ever did which means octane or lean so I figure when I map it it'll fix it.
Good to know I can complain to dealer as its not normal. My R muffler is turning gold so it is running hot IMO.

Take your bike as soon as possible to your dealer, you have a lean running issue that needs immediate attention. With what you describe, this is not normal and will end up with replacing the motor.
