Extreme Heat from my Power Plus

Hey all, wanted to see if anyone has had this experience. I’m on a road trip from the DMV to FL, stopped in GA. For the last 4 hours of my trip today I experienced extreme heat coming from the engine. This was not just a cloud of hot air around the engine, it was like a blow dryer on max blast! Has anyone experienced this? I’m at 20,000 miles, all recommended maintenance has been done, including the latest factory ECU flash. This heat was so powerful, so consistent, and so unpleasant that I had to ride my bike without my mesh jacket for the first time ever. The heat emanating from the engine was so strong, losing the jacket didn’t even really make a difference. It’s so bad that I’m wondering if I should leave the bike with Indian Daytona and fly home. I seriously almost passed out. 🤣 Sure, it was a very hot day today, but I’ve ridden all my bikes in high temps/high humidity, and I’ve never experienced anything like this!

Any feedback?

Just thinking out loud.... On a hot day sitting on top of an internal combustion engine with a radiator/fan right in front of the driver, and the driver is feeling hot air. This isn't really a deep thought moment, for me.

😘
My apologies - I didn’t catch the levity. 🤣
No harm. Sometimes my dry sense of humor gets me in trouble :oops: Hope the heat issue gets resolved (y)
I appreciate it, and will go delete my poor take. Your comment was spot on I think. 🤦‍♂️
I too removed my snarky comment/response.

Life is good :)
