  2. All bikes do that, your fan should kick in around 103-105%. On the open road the air flows in order to cool everything.

  7. Normal. Next time try it in 36°C, stuck in traffic in Le Mans after riding all the way there in 1 trip from UK.

    They run hot. This is normal as everyone above says. You'll get used to it. :)

  9. If you think the 1198 cooks your swallox, should ride the Panigale. It fries them like eggs allegedly.
