Can someone please let me know if it is normal for the frame to get quite hot to touch after riding, especially around the cylinder area.

The reason I ask is I have just fitted an new exhaust and after a short ride I found the frame hot to touch, in fact too hot to keep your hand on for a long period.

I'm just a little concerned that the new exhaust is leaking hot gasses and that is what is heating the frame.

It is a warm day and I was mostly travelling in built up areas so only doing 40 max.

Anyone help?
