So that's why then

Just read a letter in Classic Bike magazine which mentioned how alarmingly hot the fuel tank of a Z1300 Kawasaki 6 cylinder became on a ride through Spain. When I was in the South of France I was worried about the same thing on Ethel. In fact in stop /start traffic in Lyon it became so hot I pulled over, switched off, opened the fuel cap and let it stand for a while. The link to the Kawasaki is that both bikes have fuel injection. On the Kawasaki the injection system returns hot, unburnt fuel back to the tank. If the K75 does the same thing in similar temperatures that could explain it.
