 Spyder burns?
Humility will be gone after this post...
Not sure if this is a thing. I was riding the other day. It was pretty hot, about 108 outside. After awhile, I was feeling really uncomfortable in the, ummm, upper inner crotchial region of my right leg. I couldn't get comfortable on the bike but had to get home. I was wearing jeans
when riding. When I got home, I had a burn mark on the inside of my thigh about the size of a nickel that was open and deep. My wife is a nurse so she immediately sprang into action to take care of it. Here we are almost a week later, it's still there and still painful.
Has anybody ever had this happen? I know it doesn't get to 108 in many other places of the country.
I'll hang up and listen.

This might occur with that type of Spyder ..... Mike

I'm no expert, but from what I've read, the 2010-2014 RTs had a heat issue. it's the reason the vent kit was created. The 2014-2019 moved the radiators and changed the venting to avoid this issue. The PO of my RTS put the vents on anyway and I've got no complaints about the heat.

My wife rode her 2012 RT with a towel over the front of the seat in the hot weather. We got the 2013 heat vents and no more heat.

My 2012 RSS gave off what I thought was an extreme amount of heat. But nothing bad enough to leave a burn mark.
