After being stuck in traffic, and so the engine gets real hot, i have experanced the frame (below the fuel tank) which is in contact with my knees gets so hot it burns me. Its only a short section of the frame from the middle of the fuel tank to just past were the seat meets the fuel tank. Funfortuantly this is incontact with the inside of my legs/knees.

It has always happened since the bike was new. The engine is not over heating, according to the console display, and it only happens when riding in stop/start traffic conditions. On the freeway it’s fine. I guess in stop/start traffic the engine is revved more than idle. The heat seems to transfuse through the connection points where the engine bolts to the frame.
Is this an ongoing problem like a manufacturer issue that you need to address or is this something new that has just started happening?
