Consumer Description

HEAT UNDER THE SEAT IS TO HOT TO RIDE SAFETY. ALWAYS TRYING TO SHIFT AND OPEN LEGS TO TRY AND GET SOME RELIEF. HEAT COMING OFF THE RIGHT SIDE HAS ACTUALLY CAUSED A RED HEAT RASH ON MY RIGHT SHIN FROM MY ANKLE UPWARDS. WHEN REFUELING I AM SO SCARED THAT THE GAS IS GOING TO FLAME UP BECAUSE OF THE FUMES AND THE HEAT RADIATING FROM UNDER THE SEAT WHICH MUST BE LIFTED TO REFUEL. I HAVE TRIED PLACING ALUMINUM FOIL UNDER THE SEAT IN THE HOPES OF DISSIPATING THE HEAT BUT IT HAS NOT WORKED. I STORE MY CAN AM SPYDER IN A TRAILER AND MUST LEAVE ALL THE DOORS OPEN FOR SEVERAL HOURS UNTIL THE FUMES SUBSIDED. I AM AFRAID OF A FIRE AND HAVE MOVED THE TRAILER FAR AWAY FROM MY OTHER VEHICLES AND HOUSE. *TR
