Every liquid cooled bike must flow hotter air out the back of the radiators and through vents of some type in the shrouds. If you restrict this you can cause problems just like if you were to restrict the cool air flow to the front. I've had a Honda CR, KTMs, and have ridden many other liquid cooled 2-strokes. The GasGas is no different.
Try to stand more when possible. I know, I'm sort of a sit down rider also, at least in the technical stuff as I'm not real tall. I stand almost all the time when on the road after a rough section, to cool things off. Try the shorts and grease, trust me it helps as a lot of what you feel is actually from friction. A 5-6 hour enduro would be painfull without them. I assume you already wear vented gear.
