I just went on a week ride and on the return leg the temperature was a sweltering 42 degrees Celsius for two days. I have a coolant temp gauge which was sitting around 78 at 100kph in the heat of the day. My bike normally runs about 68/69 @ 100kph.The heat coming off the engine was so intense I couldn't ride with my left foot on the peg. Luckily my bike has highway pegs but try riding on dirt roads using forward mounted pegs...not the best handling position.
It wouldn't surprise me to find some heat affected issues. I will be checking the rectifier connections for sure.
I wish there was some solution to reduce the heat intensity.
