Thanks for the reply.
90' days are the norm where I live and days that reach 97' are not uncommon. "I don't ride much when it gets that hot though".
I had to put a fan on my KTM530 and it would cut in as soon as I'd drop below 30mph without any hard work up hills, just tight tracks.
I could ride the Husky WR250 anywhere without any problems though. I loved that bike but not having a 6th gear soooo frustrating.
