The 2009 kawasaki ninja 650r models vent excessive heat to the right side of the motorcycle during operation. My husband and I recently purchased two new 2009 ninja 650r motorcycles and both of us experienced slight burns to our right calves after riding for just 20 minutes. I was wearing long, cotton pants and he was wearing shorts. His burn was slightly worse. We submitted a complaint to the kawasaki dealer and sent an email to kawasaki, but it appears neither is willing to remedy the situation.
