Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I have a 2009 harleydavidson ultra that runs so hot it is sometimes unbearable to sit on at long traffic lights. I know that if i had shorts on my right leg would get burned,it is that hot. I know that this heat has to affect the longevity of the motor and after paying $20,000 for a motorcycle i don't believe that i should have to spend another $2,000 to try to correct the problem while voiding the factory warranty. I also know that it is an air cooled motor since i have two others a1986, and a 1996 both run much cooler than this 2009. I removed the lower fairings which allow more air to flow to the motor when moving but it is still hotter than any other motorcycle that i have ever ridden.
