They don't usually 'over heat' per say. But your balls and right leg will absolutely overheat.

lol oh ok.so the only solution for that is wrapping the pipes?

it gets a little hot on the right leg when its over 100 deg but a right side scoop and the techspec grip pad takes care of that.

Welcome to the forum! And like anrkizm said, the right side scoop helps A LOT. I have my pipes wrapped and a right side scoop and it def makes a difference. Good luck with your search [up]

I think it's dust, the road does appear to be gravel.

the back piston of the motor will heat your ass cheeks up a little bit too.

not a biggie though.

do they overheat in heavy traffic situations?

Mine has overheated on me to the point of shut down three times, twice in California, and once on the Vegas strip at night. So yes a summer day in heavy traffic it is a definite possibility. Really dependent on what you consider heavy traffic. Since I have experienced it so many time I will avoid traffic at all costs
