If you're having heat soak issues then yes. Other than that NO

mine does do this. also my volt meter will drop below 13 when its idling and the motor is hot. i checked it with my multimeter and its showing 13.5 volts at the battery and alternator. I went to advance and had them check it the report said alt good 14.01 no load 13.69 load,starter test normal and bat tested out good but a little low on charge. i did store it with a trickle charger on all winter. kind of at a loss right now.
