Who said that?

Are you running an Ax-3? An AX-4 would probably get pretty damn hot running 70mph for more than an hour.

Just unplug the speedo gear. Then it'll read zero.

Problem solved.

70 for an hour sounds like my typical daily commute to work. I've suffered no ill effects. I think I'm only running about 2500 RPM at that speed, off the top of my head. Can't imagine why that would be a problem.

Mine didn't come with an owners manual. Does that mean I don't have to worry?
