1. THE TEMPERATURE OF THE VEHICLE NEAR THE UPPER CALF AREAS OF THE RIDER IS EXCESVIE AND HAS CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT BURN TO MY LEFT CALF. WHEN STOPPED AT TRAFFIC THE HEAT EMITTED IS UNBEARABLE AND I HAVE TO MOVE MY FEET FROM THE FOOT PEGS TO AVOID BEING BURNED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS NOT DESIGNED TO DO THIS SO I AM FORCED INTO AN UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION NO MATTER WHAT WHEN STOPPED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. 2. THE VEHICLE EMITS A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL FOR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER A DRIVE AND THEN BEING PARKED IN THE GARAGE. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AS THE VAPORS SEEM SUFFIENT TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN. BECAUSE OF THIS I LEAVE THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN TO PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM AN EXPLOSION. *JS
