I found that the ST1300 upgrade kit works very well.

High output motors make high output heat. Have you ever considered putting header rap on your legs?

Take the photo of me off of your instrument cluster.

Ok I have to compliment you on this one. Hilarious!

High output means high exhilaration! Try wearing some depends undergarments to mitigate the "wet spot". Seriously, I've said it before and will say it again (I know because I own an FJR).....FJR stands for "Food Just Right"! Simply place an uncooked burger near the heat source and by the time you arrive at your destination, you'll be ready to eat! It's all very simple you see!?

She didn't tell you that the wet spot was in the back of her pants.

I thought the heat problem on the ST1300 was worse than the Yamaha. At least Yamaha has tried to fix the problem, Honda just ignores it.

 

[Thig]

Well almost, you missed it by 13 seconds. Now next time say something in your post interesting other than first time.

 

[Buzglyd]

That's cuz you were ridin' bytch!

 

[longride]

You are just a mean guy. You need to be nicer like I am!

 

[Buzglyd]

You're like a combination of Ghandi and Nelson Mandela coupled with Mother Teresa times two!

*WHAT* Honda ST1300 "heat problem"? Isn't that like the BMW F650 "Injector/Throttle-Snatch" problem?

 

[55024]

I had an '05 FJR. My solution was to finally sell it. Absolutely unacceptable. Big, hi-performance engines don't have to put out big heat. My 'Busa didn't make any uncomfortable heat. My ZX14 is hot, but nothing like the FJR. That's just poor design. They should be hung from their toes and flogged.

 

[ironoxide]

Yes, I think the ST is rather warm. However, many more don't complain about it. Perhaps Honda may have to abandon that design. That transversely mounted 4 sure throws a lot of heat back to the rider! Regarding the 06' fjr, you must be kidding - MCN proclaimed the heat problem was fixed for good.

 

[stlarson]

If the seat appears capable of having something stuck to the underside, grab one of the smaller DynaMat kits with heat shielding. Beyond that your only solution may be to create some sort of ducting to direct air underneath the seat.

I have a o6 FJR and don't find the heat all that bad but:

Wear heavy jeans or riding pants and higher boots to protect your lower legs

Keep the side vents closed in warm weather

Try using a sheepskin seat pad, it really works in hot or cold weather http://alaskaleather.com/

 

[acecycleins]

Just riding in pants may solve the problem. When you ride around in those capri pants your really not doing anything for your image.

I had a FJR and sold it. I really liked the bike and the heat problem was an easy fix. Wear riding pants or Draggin Jeans. That's it.

After all we are riding on top of a engine.

I now have a ZX14 and I still ride with Draggin jeans and have no problem. I am usually going fast and heat is no problem. They make scooters for around town.

Smile just kiddin
