I have the ones from spyderpops, which tricled sells. I find with the spyder moving that I went from 5 bars to 3 bars during the summer months. I no longer feel much heat on my right foot. However, right after I installed the spyderpops package, I had the 'Y' gaskets changed to the Honda ones; the right side gasket was just about history. If the right side 'Y' gasket goes, that will add to the heat you already feel on a stock spyder; at least for the GS/RS model. I know nothing of the RT.

But, I do feel the spyderpops (tricled) kit has helped.

I have no knowledge of the fan can, which I believe (but could be wrong) is the ISCI design.

I'm sorry, I completely missed it: Welcome aboard.

I also have the spyderpops version and it works very well but i have to be honest if the other one was available at that time i would have bought that one just because it looks easy to mount i dont know how it works but it must?

I don't use [need] any heat reducing gizmo's for the Spyder,
For me it doesn't throw any more heat than most bikes i've owned over the years.

Don't like the design of the fan shroud as it redirects the heat into the engine bay. Unless you have the engine floor plate removed, heat will have to escape thru the seams. Plus it's metal so it might rattle if its loose or touching something. Definitely not my cup of tea for sure.

thnx
but i do care about the bike engine heat its more important than the heat which comes out the foot especially in traffic it gets very hot and on my first ride idint know about it which made the spyder goes to the limp and vss error then i had to call a recovery to take it bak home and took a taxi bak home loool thats why i wanted to know what is the best stuff for cooling the engine and i hope brp will do somthing in the futre about it ..

VSS fault is most commonly caused by brake fluid that is a tiny bit low (although it won't look it).

+ a loose magnet from McCruise cruise control can do this...

I just did an oil change on my daughters bike and i remember a thread by lamonster that he left off the pan below the engine to make it easier to do next time and to reduce the heat so far so good. Now i have to go get the mobil 1 out of my bike and leave the pan off. AAAAAH some nice fresh amsoil.

It shouldn't be so hot that makes the Spyder go into limp mode unless there is a reason (i.e. increased heat due to leaky exaust gasket, or long period if idling in stuck traffic with breeze against the heat exaust port). Check your fan to make sure it goes on when it reaches 4 bars. If not, check the fan relay next. It only happened for me once as I was stuck in traffic waiting for a long train to go by on a very hot day. I changed to RP oil and added ICE to the radiator and that seems to have done the trick and keeps the temp in check at 5 bars. SpyderPops AMS just help move the heat out of the way when the bike is IN MOTION. It won't do nothing if it is stuck in traffic.
