2013 Heat Management

[Buckeye Bleau]

I am a new owner, so excuse what may be an old issue or a redundant question.
I just purchases a 2013 RT-L and I heard that there was a heat recall/fix and I think that mine was repaired based on the cowling under the lights.

However, the left side upper has a nice screen over it, but the right side, I think it is called the dragons mouth, there is no screening or cover. If I purchased some screening for over the right side would this impede the airflow to where I would have issues?
I just want to do what is correct based on your experience or knowledge, I don't want to put on a trim piece for aesthetics and end up with a heat issue. Thank you.

The right side (The Dragon's Mouth...) was always open. Some folks do mount a matching screen in there in order to match the LH side of the bike. :thumbup:
Since the 2014 and later RTs do have that "missing" screen; folks have figured out how to adapt it to the earlier models. Look for a thread in here about that! :2thumbs:

pps: I can't remember the names of the handy folks who have done it... :banghead:
