If the dealer put those on for you and didn't mention that or tell you that could be a problem, that's because it isn't his bike.
I've been checking the right hand one on a regular basis and so far it hasn't even gotten warm, even after I've shut the bike off after a long ride. I appreciate you bringing that to my attention though, as if I didn't already know to keep an eye on them, it could turn out to be an expensive lesson.
