So,
I purchased my Icon 2 weeks ago and had to wait until yesterday to get my cast (from previous motorcycle accident) off. I finally got to put some miles on the Duc yesterday. My previous bike is an '81 GS450. I'm completely new to modern engines and fuel injection. I've been having a lot excessive heat by my knees and was curious if this is normal or if it's a Ducati thing or if I may have an issue. I'm just under 100 miles and don't want to continue riding if there is indeed an issue.
Any thoughts? Also if this is simply a result of a more powerful machine, is there anything that can be done to combat it? It's not bad while riding and I assume that the warm weather we've been having in SW Ohio contributes to the heat. But when I'm at a traffic light, it can get pretty bad, especially on the exhaust side.
