What owners report

2015-06-30, Engine
I HAVE A 2013 HARLEY DAVIDSON SOFTAIL SLIM. FLS. RIGHT FROM DAY ONE THERE HAS BEEN EXTREME HEAT FROM THE MOTOR. ESPECIALLY FROM THE RIGHT SIDE WHERE MY OIL TANK IS. THE HEAT GETS SO HOT THAT IT HAS BURNED THE INSIDE IF MY THIGH. IF I SIT IN TRAFFIC FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME IT IS HARD FOR ME TO STAY ON MY BIKE DUE TO THE EXTREME HEAT UNDER MY RIGHT LEG. I HAVE CHANGED MY EXHAUST LIKE HARLEY RECOMMENDED, BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. I LOVE MY BIKE, BUT GETTING BURNS ON THE INSIDE OF MY THIGH SHOULD NOT BE A PART OF RIDING IT!
