Do these new motors put out a lot of heat?
« on: February 19, 2017, 07:55:32 PM »

The early 110's put out a tremendous amount of heat.  Several years later, the liquid cooled heads helped some.  So I haven't heard of many complaints about the heat the new motors put out.  Is it much of an issue?

It's not as hot as a wet head 110 with the cat removed from the 110 bike, and cat still in the 114 bike.

It's a lot cooler than the air cooled 110s I had on three different bikes.  Got it in mid-September so it was still pretty warm the first few 0,000 miles I
rode it.
