Burnt pants?
Hey guys n' gals, anyone have any ideas why my right pants leg keeps getting burnt from the engine clutch side cover? I've now got 3 pairs of pants with holes burned through and only 50 miles on the odometer. The clutch doesn't slip and everything sounds normal. TIA

Check the temp of that cover after a few miles. Are you really sure it isn't the exhaust pipe??!!!
Stupid question, but that is a wet clutch!

Velcro pant straps for bicyclists. Fixed or stretchy from Amazon.
I used to have a pair of metal clips that pushed on from the front, and held my pants snug while I commuted to school in Albuquerque. The velcro straps are different but serve the same purpose.

It's probably the exhaust. I have header wrap on mine for that reason lol.

Is your engine running lean? Your carb may need a new jet. Leaned out engines run hot.
I installed one of these on each of my TT250's. It makes a HUGE difference on how much heat hits my right leg!!! https://www.amazon.com/Design-Engine.../dp/B00CF2RGHQ
