Ryker Heat Issues?

[papagolf]

Probably a bit early to ask this question but being a 2013 RTL owner, I gotta ask. Any excessive heat issues with the Ryker?

Is a bit soon but so far have not heard mention of any heat problem. Don't expect to either as it is set up pretty well. :thumbup:

There been reports of the rear tire heating up and then smoking :roflblack:

I was concerned about the same thing with the exhaust being under the seat. The warmest day I have ridden yet was 75 F and I did not feel any heat. Time will tell; it gets hot here in Texas.

I have experienced the opposite problem. LOL It was about high 30s-low 40s and it seemed like it took an extended time to reach proper operating temp. :popcorn: cueman

The other day when I was 2-up riding my Rally in a pasture, the cooling fan turned on twice for approximately 15-20 seconds each time.

I am thinking we have about 5 months or so...and then will have more answers.

Darn rear tires... :yes:

Well when mine lands here in South Australia - it's gonna have to deal with 42º Celsius - so I'll let everyone know how she goes :chill:

Just purchased the 900 cc Ryker ! Have ridden it about 130 miles thus far. So far no heat issues but then again- it is no summer yet in Arizona.

With all those "air vents" built in, there should be zero heat issues.:D

Zero heat issues with the Ryker. You're going to have to depend on Al Gore and Global Warming, I'm afraid.

I am feeling some heat on my ankles and lower legs now that riding temperatures are in the 90's. Mine is a Rally model with the skid pad under the engine

I have yet to hear my radiator fan come on here in S FL. :2thumbs:

[cueman]

You will feel the heat. When you do just go faster! :2thumbs: cueman

I've been wondering about the heat issues. There were a number of posts about overheating issues on one of the forums back in the spring. I can't find the thread right now but I think they were having issues in 50F conditions?!
