Hey Guys,
I am not sure if anyone else has had this problem. But In my first year of riding the bike, I noticed that the rear mudguard has been baked with heat, it's slightly cracked and has bubbles because of heat.
I am not sure if my bike is over heating (it never goes over 220 F, that too if i am mostly on 1st and 2nd gear), if I am moving 70mph on a 80* F weather then the engine temp is around 170-180 F range.
But the bubbles and cracks are definitely by heat, wasn't sure if anybody else has had this?
Also, if I do plan to swap the plastic with Carbon Fiber, I am assuming it will be more resilient to heat than plastic, but not sure if that'll bubble up too, I don't want to throw away money. Any thoughts?
I'll share a picture if I can over the weekend.
Thanks,
