Lowers question.
Lowers question.
I'm at the dealer and one of the service guys is telling me that I MUST take off the lowers above 60 degrees if I ride in the city otherwise I'll overheat. The problem is that I live upstate and when I leave my house at 4am its cold outside. Anyone know if this is correct?
He claims that that's what the moco tells them and that he's seen customers who overhheated because of this. I'm thinking back to last summer and the only thing I remember was when I was in heavy traffic in the heat the bike would idle very low and the oil pressure would drop almost all the way down, so I would rev it a little every mi ute or so to keep the oil pressure up.

Tell him he needs to have HD rewrite your owners manual and have HD put warning stickers on lowers. So if the day starts out at 58 but goes up to 90 you have to pull over and take your lowers off

I live in Sunny Arizona and have had two eglides and the lowers never come off, I have 53,000 on this one and it will be a toasty 113 here today.
