YES, if you have the stock key with the plastic on top, it is not that bad but they do get Hot.

YES, if you have the stock key with the plastic on top, it is not that bad but they do get Hot.

If you don't have a key with the plastic on top, putting it right into your pocket after getting off the bike can REALLY get your attention.
