Hi all, I picked up a new 2020 790 Duke yesterday. I'm beyond pleased with how it rides, but the thing gets damn hot! Does anyone else have issues with rider heat, and are there ways of mitigating this? How much of a reduction could I expect with the RS22 decat and ATOM setup?

Hot? How sensitive is your skin?
I ride in 90-100 degrees F and Don't notice it.

Pretty sure my skin is normal. Does anyone have actual experience with heat reduction after decatting the bike?

Hi Mike

There have been a couple of members reporting this issue. You may have a faulty thermostat. I live in a hot climate and mine never gets above four bars where the fan cuts in. Should be covered by warranty. Cheers

I'm confused. Are we talking about the heat that the rider feels coming from the engine/exhaust or the engine temperature?

Both I’d think. Overheating would lead to a hot rider.
