Is the RR suppossed to get hot when u are riding? I have been having charging problems for quite a while. Well the stator would read withing specs but after getting fed up I just went and replaced it today. When I took out the old one it was def fried. But anyway now the battery charges fine and it starts right back up. But i noticed when I touched the RR when I was riding it it was hot as hell, is it suppossed to be?

Yeah they do get really hot. Have you gone through the stick post on battery problems? I think that deals with it - I have heard some mount them differently to get better cooling.
