Bike is feeling HOT

[manatrader]

Okay, coolant is okay fan is okay not those at all. Bike has about 36,000 miles on her now and just in the last couple of months it has felt hotter than I remember.

The frame is hot to the touch almost to the point that I can not leave my hand on it.
Even the top part of the frame near the gas tank, which has me concerned. I'm leaving for a long 3500 mile trip on Tuesday so I need to get this figured out ASAP. If you know what it could be let me know PLEASE.

What's the gauge indicating; any change

In the summer mine feels hot, especially on long hauls.

Yeah, watch the guage and make sure the coolant is full.

The sun will heat that frame up real nice

Gage is fine no change and I have had my coolant system tested, it's just feels hot, the frame is getting hotter than last year.

As we get older our skin and blood begin to thin causing higher levels of sensitivity...

It's raining here but I will try to get out in the 95 degree Tx heat (if we find some) and take a temp reading.

It's just the heat from the sun and the bike! Especially after long trips! I just installed a muzzy fan and she never been up to the half way point!!! Jsut stay on top of your fluids!!!
