Jorgy,
That motor gets hot down here in Texas, no doubt about it. Most guys I know have gone with something to adjust the A/F mixture, whether it's TFI, SERT, or whatever. My bike came with the stage I and SERT on it, and I've not had any problems with pinging or missing on hot days. The dealer just downloaded a map they already had for the SERT, so I don't think the bike has ever been dyno'd. I have noticed a slight drop in acceleration when the air temps are over 102; but then I tend to lose my "get up and go" when it's that hot also.
The only time I really notice the heat coming off the motor is when I'm stopped in traffic.
Like Smitty said, make sure you're running a good synthetic oil, and there shouldn't be any problems.
