silverbird1100 Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 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
DBLXX Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 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
silverbird1100 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Posted June 18, 2020 Do/did you have a problem with the heat on your bird? Quote

jon haney Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 If you think the Bird was hot, You will likely hate all things Kawasaki with water-cooling. Quote

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
TOXXIC Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Had a C14, was never an issue for me. I never found the Blackbird to be too hot either. Quote
