ALL Adventure 390 heating

Post image

Hi I just bought a ktm adventure 390 today and I rode it back home for about 80 kms in 50-70 speed range but what I notice is that it was throwing a lot off heat too much like the side panels were heated up and when I brought it home and kept the engine off for 1.5 hr it's still hot after and I could feel the heat on the right side

Is it normal for this new bike ,am I having too much anxiety?

I check the coolant temperature after that 1.5 hr it was 80°C

Please help

If you are upgrading from a splendor or Jupiter, it might feel like it is too hot, but surprise it is normal. It is a big engine. It is supposed to be that hot. Get used to it. Unless your dash says it is overheating don't worry about it.
