had the nc30 for 4 weeks now (my first bike) and today has been the first time out on it and it felt a little warm under the seat well really the O/S, My right leg was feeling a bit warm i think its the relay/solenoid, anyone else had this kinda problem is the solenoid shot? it is playing up, sometimes it wont start of the button and i have to hit the solenoid then she starts no problem..
any ideas??

cheers...

It is usually the heat out from the motor. They are bloody hot bikes. Nice in winter...boil your inner thigh in summer..

as mark said its normal, the reg rec, the tight engine in the frame and no ambient air to cool the rear cylinders = Great Balls of FIRE! hot bollocks basically :D

It's normal. I'm infertile because of my NC.

I dont' think it's soo much to do with ambient air.. there water-cooled and have no fins so the air wouldn't help much.

It's more to do with it being a V4.

The rear-bank sits right below where the family jewels sit.

On an I4 all 4 exhaust headers go out the front and usually down under the engine.. fresh air also helps remove heat from the pipes.

On the V4 you have two cylinders whose pipes come out in a funny angle and down by your legs.. this heats the frame up and your legs!

The NC24 doesn't have so much of a problem as the exhaust is routed in a different way to a collector box.

Still all get toasty tho

GRT.
The missis wants to send me for the snip.
I'll tell her to read this then she will let me out on the bike more often.

Cheers for the replys so its nothing to worry about then. hot bawz it is

I do believe the frame is important to heat loss, like a second air cooled radiator. This is why some people have had over heating problems with a powder coated frame. But it might explain why its getting hot around the seat area.
