Bike hotter when slammed?
So, since I went really low I noticed my temp gauge is always 1 digital mark above half, no matter how much I have been moving. I went from Dayton to Columbus yesterday on a back road highway and it was always above halfway.
So I was wanting to ask some of you if having the bike lowered does increase heat because the radiator gets less air hitting it??

I never had an issue with mine...but there are some that did and installed the ZX-10 fender to allow additional air flow to the radiator.
I don't think you are running hot though...half gauge is just fine.
