#1 | Heat from exhaust datum

Hi all,

During a recent test ride on the RS Sport SE with the big chrome exhaust my wife riding pillion noticed a lot of heat getting to her right foot.

Has anyone else noticed this?

If it is purely heat radiating from the exhaust can then a Remus carbon can should rectify that easily but am interested to hear if others have noticed it when carrying a pillion.

Never had this pointed out. Be curious to know her pillion experience and whether the current summer heatwave is an issue.

Cannot comment on the OE exhaust as I had an Akropovic fitted before taking delivery, but with the Akro my wife has no heat problems, in fact her boot has at times touched the can (I can see slight polishing marks) with no melting of her boot. We have travelled in temperatures up to 40c degrees which includes city traffic and open road. The Akro outer case is surprisingly cool after a ride: I don't have any concerns about contact when moving the bike into my garage after a ride.

Thanks guys, she asked to stop and check in case she was touching the exhaust but was well clear of it.

We had earlier tested the Multistrada and just got off the S1000XR and had no heat issues with either of those bikes.

We will be having another test ride before signing on the line so shall see if the problem reappears.
