Does my 2017 F3T have a heat problem?

[Tazzel]

I traded my 2015 F3S for a 2017 F3T Not sure if I have a problem or not but I am feeling a lot more heat on my right leg from mid thigh down to my ankle. Before I call the dealer I was wondering if this is normal on the F3T. Has anyone traded an F3S for an F3T and experienced the same thing. Its like I am back on my 2012 RS all over again. Felt very little heat on the F3S and that was mostly pavement heat coming up off the road.

I have a pre-muffler delete pipe on my F3-T and have no problem with heat coming up.
Len at Pitbull recommended it to prevent any problems with heat.

Question: Are you wearing different riding gear?
There's no difference in the radiator location or front bodywork... :dontknow:

My wife was complaining about the same thing, I just installed the cat delete pipe in mine yesterday. I didn't like the sound without the baffle so I removed it again and installed the baffle, to me it doesn't sound any different, but I lost a few pounds by removing it and though I haven't had it out for a ride yet, I know it has to be cooler without the cat under the right rear peg.

I have a 2016 F3T and its all stock nothing changed on engine or exhaust and I don't really notice any extreme heat, my legs are out pretty far on position 5 and floorboards.
If you want a leg roaster try a Indian roadmaster ,bought a 2017 and when you get off after a ride it feels like your right pant leg just came out of the dryer. Love both rides tho.

I do notice a Slight amount of heat on my right foot and leg. I think in my case that it's just the heat from the radiator.
