Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We purchased a new 2008 Yamaha yzf-r6 and started riding it. We immediately noticed that there is a rather large amount of heat generated by the engine and the ducting from the radiator directs this superheated airflow right onto the lower legs of the rider. This is not much of an issue when the ambient temperatures are below 80 degrees f. Anything higher and it will cause burns with blisters even through blue jean pants. …”
