Scrambler 500 4x4 running hot

[Bulldogge]

Hi guys my Scrambler 500 runns hot. Most of the heat comes from the Hot seat pipe. lol (really is a hot seat!!) I was considering just putting a stock pipe back on. Hopfully that will help. Any Ideas? Is this normal?

I know on my scrambler the pipe gets hot but my heat shields block most of it from the seats.

Is it just the nature of the beast? It gets to the point where you have to keep your legs from touching the plastic heat shields when we ride.

What kinda pipe do you have on? And did you also add a programer? My 01 Scrambler is stock, and it rides cool. You can trail ride all day wearing shorts.

It is a hot Seat pipe. I don't know what work was done. I bought it like it is. I think I may put a stock pipe back on. hopefully that may help.
