Paul...
Unless it causes a problem I'd leave it... these are known to run VERY HOT - remember your fingers can only withstand in the region of 40
degrees!
Most electricals can go up to 100 degrees...
As long as its got a good heat sink plate and is in a well ventilated cool air place - it should be ok...

Yep, Id fit something too cool it otherwise it will eventually burn out. I also used an old Athlon CPU heatsink / fan on mine and it lasted the entire
time I had the engine, about 3 years. Alternatively you could bolt it to a plate of ally (not sheet / panels etc - it nees to be reasonably thick) to
dissipate the heat.

Make sure it has a really good heatsink I had one go and swapped to another one which a bike shop recommended, which has morer cooling fins on it. I
also bolted it to a block of alloy and attached some heatsink cooling fins on that. Sorry the pictures so big
