Finaly, nice day today . It was sunny and hot ,around 20 C.
I got on my bike and I was rideing for about two hours.I made something like 50 miles (100 km).Everything was fine.
And then i went to my garage to leave the bike and i touched the oil cap.It was hot like hell!!The whole engine was very ,very hot.I don't know if that is normal.What will happen  in the sommer when it gets to 32-38 C outside?Engine will get hotter.Is thet a problem?
I have just changed the oil and the oil filter a week ago.
Should i be woried about the engine temp?

It's normal because the engine works pretty damned hard when you're riding it.  Don't worry about it - just let the bike cool down for awhile before touching it. :)

That's normal. I let the bike cool for a hour before I check my oil level.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
