    Default Having left side heat issue with 2014 STS

    Purchased in 12/14 during winter in Florida so didn't notice till the last month or so. I am getting an unbearable level of heat from the left side hitting the inside of my calf. Anyone else having this problem or any thoughts?

    Default Wow..!!

    left side calf area, would seem you have an exhaust leak. Possibly the "Y" gasket and/ or the header pipe. You can wrap the header pipe and replace the gasket or tighten as needed.... hope your not the guy in the shorts...

    Wrapping the pipes will certainly help... They run REAL close to the fuel tank on the left side of the bike anyway... It might even help prevent unwanted gas fumes...
