+1 I was going to say looks like exhaust flap might be sticking and releasing hence the heat, that would explain the deep blue
Any updates on this? I have started getting a cooked right leg in the last 2 days. Motorway ride home of 15 miles at 60mph and my thigh underneath is unbearably hot, the rear footrest hanger, frame also hot. Came back from France 2 week trip in 30-38degree heat with no issues. Only just started this week. Must be something??
I have a mudsling fitted. Was fine 2 weeks ago? Why not now.....?
I have exactly the same feeling. However I told by the dealer it’s absolutely normal :/
Remove the Mudsling it'll make a noticeable improvement, you can reinstall it in the Fall.
I run de cat akra Ti headers and I also get a cooked right foot/lower leg recently. Haven't noticed it before, just the last month?May have been suggested , but run a de cat pipe and the heat will go , I run one.
Also the free flow exhaust will remove some of the vibes associated with the standard system as well , winner all round.

I was laying on my drive the other week checking the pipework as I thought I might have cracked the header where it goes into the exhaust it was that hot. In the end I assumed it must have been that last summer too but I'd forgotten. Not sure, but my right foot is getting cooked!Last month you say?
Interesting??
I wonder why that may be???
Give me strength, please

I read on here that some of you find it worse at motorway speeds so last night I did a little experiment. I left work at 17.30 and purposely rode in the wrong direction and sat in traffic/did a bit of filtering for 30 mins. Engine temp gauge said 92 degrees. Nothing noticeable regarding the right leg heat issue. Then I headed home on the M42 sitting at around 75mph, engine temp dropped to 82 degrees and the heat started. By the time I was home some 20 minutes later it was unbearable. Even the bottom of the seat on the right hand side was getting hot.
So today I visited local BMW dealer and explained my situation. Getting hot within 6 minutes of hitting the motorway. I took the guy outside to show him. When he touched the frame straight away he said that wasn't right (the bike had been sitting there for some 15 minutes too) He also noticed some gold/blue colouring on the exhaust where it enters the silencer which he said was odd.
Non of the techs knew what it could be or have heard anything but they have agreed that it isn't right and needs further investigation. Booked in for Aug 31st. I'll let you know!
