I recently bought a new R1M 2024 from my local dealer. Love it so far, but when I rode it the first time for 15/20 minutes, my legs were getting cooked alive.
I’m new to sports bikes and Yamaha, is this normal? Just for context I do live in the hotter part of the world, so we are in the mid 30s (centigrade) at the moment and I was riding mid-dayish.
Saying that, I did ride it again but this time at night time with a balmy 24 degrees. It was the same issue, it was unbearable sitting in the bike it was that hot. For context it was a mix of highway and start stop traffic at the end of the ride. Obviously more noticeable when I was stopped.
Thanks!
