Top End Blower
We recently installed the Kewlmetal air filter mod to our 2010 Spyder Rt A&C. See here for details
I now have all but one of the parts to do the final piece to this modification.
This addresses the possible heat build up around the engine while at idle or while stuck in traffic at slow speeds.
Parts include an Attwood 3" blower, an adjustable thermostatic fan controller, a 4 amp fuse for power supply from battery.
Still waiting for the final part which is an additional switch for the spyder console, on its way from BRP parts.
The plan is to run the 12V+ from battery through the 4 amp fuse to the power side of fan.
The 12V- will be routed from battery through the BRP switch on console through the thermostatic fan control and on to the blower.
This will allow us to control when this blower can run from the drivers seat as well as having it cycle according to temperature being sensed right near the intake filter.

very interested
on how it turns out, if you tap a relay off the positive side of the bike fan than run a 12 volt line from the battery to the relay so the blower has it's own power supply it will come on when the bike fan comes on than you can also add the new switch to also turn the blower on when you also want to run it. is it possible to get pictures where you put the blower
NO BIKE AT THIS TIME

John,
On the 2010 RT I am only concerned about "purging" the heat build up at slow or no speed. So I don't want to tie it into the radiator fan.
I will post some pics from the install to this thread. The fan will go into the front left side (opposite the radiator).

when i did
my stuff it only helps when riding, the bottom vents block off the heat from my feet and i cut a hole in the plastic behind the fan to blow the hot air out of that area, also the top vents i did blow air into the engine when the bike is moving also, i sure hope it works

Interesting..!!
had mentioned this as a possible solution some time back. Not having a problem with the heat never acted on it. Am working on turbo fans on the air intakes which one of our members has done. But ours is an RS with less problems. 'ing for your results. This should really be an effective way to remove the heat..congrats..

CuznJohn,
I am curious what effect your mods have on your 2013 heat issues.
My issue is of my own doing, by removing the stock air box and resonator I created the possibility of sucking increased temp air into the intake over what the sensor is telling the computer. (sensor is farther forward than the intake).
I am not sure if this would be of any value to your heat issues, nor would I recommend removing the air box and resonator to anyone with a 2013 and its ongoing saga of heat issues.

What adjustable thermostatic fan controller are you using? (brand, part number)? I think the Attwood will work great to keep the under-Tupperware temps down, but won't affect the feet much.
if you want an alternative to fix the hot foot issue... http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...reversal/page5 I haven't tried it yet, but it should work. I plan on doing it in a month or so when it gets warmer out.

Had you done the aftermarket intake and removed the air box and resonator? If notI can see why no room for the fan.
I had plenty of room and think found a stable spot for it. time will tell.

Yesterday and today did some spring maintenance on the ol 2010 RT Spyder.
Oil change
Replaced antifreeze
Replace original battery
Installed the blower fan for use when stuck in traffic or idling. This allows me to flip the switch and activate a thermostat controlled Blower to bring fresh (cooler) air into the area around the Kewlmetal intake I have installed.
Removed the NBV hi way pegs, never could get real comfortable with them and the foot so far from brake pedal...
