    VERY HOT rear diff/final drive housing.

    I was alarmed the first time I put my hand on it too, and have been assured that it's ok. If you've never had a vehicle with a transmission temp gauge, you can expect ATF to run at 185F - 210F depending on conditions and driving mode.

    Hello from Northern California

    Hi all, I've been reading the forum for awhile during my buying process and I'm happy to join up. This a great bunch, and I love the international sense of friendship here. I just picked up my bike from the dealer this week, and I've never been so happy with a motorcycle in my life...
