Honda BF50 - High temp. on gear case

[radu.postole]

Hello, i have a little question. Today i started my Honda BF 50 to go on a trip. After 5 minutes of idle i touched the gear case area and it feels very hot ( you can touch it but it feels hot ). The hotest zone was around the upper exhaust from front to back and lower. Please tell me if it's all right

As long it's not burning your hand it's all right At idle you have min water cooling. Go for a wot spin stop and check if at same or lower temp.

Happy Boating

I took a 10 minutes wot tour and the temp is aprox. the same, warm to hot but you can keep your hand on it easy.
