Default Slim 103 vs 107 heat

I am finding my Slim S 2016 103 very hot while riding on my leg even in cooler weather I am wondering if the 107 engine is not as hot to sit on. I have another M107 and it is does not feel like the scorcher this ride does.

Let me know if you have any experience with either, thank you

If you have a 2016-2017 Slim-S (FLSS), it is 110 cid. The normal Slim (FLS) is the 103 cid.

The 'newer' M8 Slim (FLSL) models starting in 2018 have the 'oil tank' or sump, located on
the bottom of the bike so theoretically, they should 'feel' a bit cooler to the rider....

hth,

Sometimes my 2016 Slim S feels hot AF on rides while other times I hardly notice. Just depends on the day I guess. Been looking at the Captain Itch products that I hear help in this situation.

with a good tune, you can low temp. If the bike have an incorrect tune, can up the temp.
