do you ride in leathers ?

If you have the standard pipes it is probably the cat as they run a high temp. Fitting a race pipe should help. I'm waiting for my term's to arrive and currently have the same issue

In this temperature the in built heating is a welcome addition in the frozen north!!

Get the odd blast of hot air when sat at traffic lights or similar on a summers day. Soon as I'm moving it's all back to normal.

I do have a race can fitted and I'm sure it helps reduce the heat build up.

I've got a 57 system on the 999 and it heats up just as bad as the stock system did if you get stuck in traffic :( I usually resort to standing on one peg with me ar?e in the air at traffic lights in summer, it looks a bit weird but works.

Avoid towns and traffic is the best solution :D

haha, nice, i guess that is a good idea to stand up... a bit difficult to avoid london though and traffic in it... oh well
