Just a quick one to ask.. How hot should the lower casing ( chrome gearbox covers etc) get on a long run? Mine seem to be hot enough to burn you. I've never had a bike that got this hot on the lover crank casings .. Then again I've never had a 865cc air cooled engine before either. I've only recently done the longer runs on the bike seeing as my daily runners off the road.
Probably normal but never hurts to ask I always say!
Quick! There's time 2B Wasted! :-P

Yea I thought so. But in all the time I've had it I've never touched the crank casings lol so when I did I naturally thought oh dear. Like when you notice a new clicky sound that's a that has probably been there years. It you instantly panic lol

Fizzy ol boy, don't touch an engine block of an automobile when it has been running either. 
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
