Uncomfortably hot

Hey there, recently bought a brand new T660. I've completed the first 1000k and therefore it's first service. In that time, it's been quite hot here in the UK and I've noticed that the Tuareg seems to run a bit warm on the right side of the bike.

My dad owns a 2024 Tuareg and I rode that a bit whilst I was deciding between one of these and a T7 and I can't say I noticed the same thing on his one.

As mine is the newer E5+ variant, and after doing a little bit of reading, it seems that this variant runs a little bit leaner and therefore hotter. I've had moments where it's gotten uncomfortably warm on right leg and under the seat, but just wanted to see if other people are experiencing the same, or if I was sensitive to the heat or even if there was a problem with my bike?

I've done a little bit of reading and some people mention similar things and have done mods in an attempt to reduce the heat. Decat headers, ECU remap, heatwraps etc. Anyone got any personal experience with the same issue or remedies?

Other than this one thing, I'm loving the bike!
