[Ducati] 916/996/998 underseat heat

[Veloce916 at aol.com]

I think it has at least a little to do with what you get used to. When I  got 
my 916 and it was new it seemed pretty hot. But I  got accustomed to it. Then 
I got a 916SPS and it was a LOT hotter, in fact  I rode it in jeans and it 
actually cooked my legs, I had big red welts. But I  got some high socks and put 
on the leathers I should have been wearing in the  first place and before 
long I didn't notice it (much) again. But I do remember  that I thought it was 
uncomfortable and wondered to myself if it would  be a problem.

I have  about 49K miles on my 996bp. I have stock cored out mufflers and no
heat  protection at all. I ride over an hour each time I'm on the bike and
I've  never had the heat problem you all speak of. Even when the bike was
close  to over heating (and it did at Laguna Seca a couple of years ago)
I've  still never felt uncomfortably hot in the seat. I guess I'm  lucky.
