Re: Curvy frame gets hot.
The engine is physically bolted to the frame, so some 'heat sink' effect going on there. Also, the rear exhaust exits back there, plus any convection from the block. The heat sink effect being the largest contributor.
As you can tell from the above, one would expect a fair bit of heat to be transferred to the frame after a long run. I'd still say you should be able to keep your hand on it for a few seconds though ... it shouldn't be 'sizzling' hot ... |
