Heat is greater when new.....I could hardly stay in the thing. I now ride in 95+ heat each day at my ranch...and there is no heat issue.

Two things...remove the windshield., that's the single biggest problem...and the motor needs some time. I have 42 hours on mine now, and as i said, heat is not now an issue.

I like you....don't care of the exhaust note on this thing at all, but don't want to spend the money for an aftermarket one.
