I have AMA too. Never used it for a bike but it covers our cars as well and my family has called on them a few times.
One weird thing is that if you go down and your bike is un-ridable, that's not covered and they won't come get you. Therefore I think it's best to say that your bike "broke down" which is technically true...it's broke and it's down.

Yep. ....first time in some real heat for me on this bike, and I was really feeling the engine heat on my legs especially the right. Here in Sac in the summer it can be over 100 for days on end....kind of wondering if it was wise to buy an air cooled bike now. I read in reviews b4 buying that the bike was fine in high temps..we'll see
I think it's more a matter of fuel consumption in terms of heat generation. The more fuel burned, the hotter the engine I believe. My F800GT water-cooled was an air fryer but my CBR250R generates zero perceptible heat.
