Tiger 955i motor heat

[birddogone]

I have ridden BMW airheads and K100s for many years. I am surprised by how little heat my Tiger motor puts out in comparison. Beemers can melt your thighs in the dead of summer time and although I've only had the opportunity to ride the Tiger in 80 degree weather, but it sure is a lot cooler than I'm used to.

You'll be happy to hear then, that the T800 can be quite uncomfortable with the heat blowing from the radiator over the cylinder head and mostly out the right hand side at thigh height.
You can feel the heat from the 955 on your lower leg when you're riding fairly slow and there's a cross wind. The heat seems to exit from the side of the engine rather than over the top.
