Had a fantastic, fun ride, love the bike and am leaning towards the 2010 X model, but this bike was HOT! I mean it was so hot the right frame rail made a red mark on the inside of my leg (wearing jeans). Question to all here, has the new "Comfort Kit" really cooled the bike down ? Or, has anyone had a chance to test ride a 2010 X to see how much difference there is.
Thanks,
Gs

Paintman: Read the extensive write ups on the comfort kit. Pages and pages of stuff including photos of install etc. Just several post down from yours. I would suggest you look in the archives first and just read on through. Very, Very good and comprhensive info there. Have a fun read

Also keep in mind that as the engine breaks in it will start running cooler as it loosens up.

I am a recently new Uly owner and I can say definately the first 500-1000 miles were way hotter than the last 5000.

Much of the heat comes down to gear too. I know in my leathers, the Uly can be a touch warm, but in anything else, it can become a big crotch/inner thigh/ass roasting machine. The easy fix is to find some twisties and get off the saddle.

The kit is that good.

Right frame and left frame on my '06 are the same temp now that I have the kit installed.

See the comfort kit thread.
