They do tend to get quite hot, but I'd also check the coolant level after your first ride since re-filing the bike. It might have pushed a few air bubbles out.

What coolant do you use? I have a lways used Fuchs Pro-Cool and never had a problem, mine rarely goes over 90 C

I use water and it is fine when moving...

Pick my new rad up in 2 weeks..woohooo
that will sort it out.

The frames get very hot to touch and the heat can roast your legs...just go a bit faster to get a nice breeze

yeah, its just one of those things, crammed a v4 in a tiny frame thats what happens.
as said, check for trapped air, clean out rads and buy some good coolant, and dont sit still in traffic for too long!! :D

agree with royster there, shorts are uncomfortable with the heat out of the frame.
the lower rad does get gunked up with the crap off the road, mine is running a little hot in traffic lately but i know i will whip the rads off when i am in ireland and leave them to soak overnight and give them a meticulous clean, maybe a lick of paint!!

do you guys honestly ride in shorts???

clogged fins are never good, giving them a clean out will make a noticeable difference.
easy to do as well.
