silverbird1100 62 Posted June 18 Looking to add a heavy weight to my garage. Only concern is heat, I get plenty of that on my bird. Do they get really hot too? (Not concerned about it town, everything gets hot when not moving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DBLXX 2,088 Posted June 18 Had one. Never had the heat issue while wearing jeans or riding pants. Mesh pants with nothing under it...got a bit warm. They corrected it in later models I believe and Organdonor I think installed the "added fans" work around that I believe solved that for him. Great bike. It's a lead weight...but fast as FUCK. Not balanced that well either, IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jon haney 347 Posted June 18 If you think the Bird was hot, You will likely hate all things Kawasaki with water-cooling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I agree, my 14R was really bad and I'm temped to turn away from the C14 but everyone I ask says it's a non-issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TOXXIC 1,006 Posted June 22 Had a C14, was never an issue for me. I never found the Blackbird to be too hot either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
