During Bike Week in Daytona I noticed a very hot situation coming from the radiator exhaust port on the right side of my 2011 Viper Red RT ! We were in some traffic but, I was wearing shorts ( 92 deg. ) ! I saw on this site where someone designed a plastic cover for the port ! Would this adaption make the spyder run HOT in warm weather ? If someone could direct me to the conversion cover, I would appreciate it, very much ! Thank you !!!!!

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hi John. I don't mean to sound like a smart ass (although I very well may be), but I typed in "excessive heat RT" in the search feature above, and found 9 pages of previous posts dealing with this issue.
I'm responding this way because it would take an inordinate amount of time to adequately answer your question. I mean no ill will. I'm simply trying to help you and at the same time be brief.

Spyderpops sells the Block Off plate www.spyderpops.com
if you do it correctly it will send the heat under the bike and out the back.
Shorts on any motorcycle :yikes::yikes:, is never a good idea.

Have to Agree
We routinely ryde in temps above 90 degrees and I always wear vented textile ryding pants. The fact of the matter is, not only is it not safe to ryde in shorts, but you expose your feet and legs to the heat generated by the engine. In fact you will stay cooler with ryding pants on, and you will be less likely to suffer from dehydration. The more skin Yiu have exposed to the sun and heat the faster Yiu loose water. So to stay safe, and more comfortable cover up, drink lots of water, and add some evaporative cooling tools such as a cooling vets etc. :yes::yes::yes:

Heat is always a big concern coming out the radiator port. But that being said I work in shorts and often ride to work in them. Never long rides from home. There are many ideas to help with the heat from the furnace hole.

I've seen the block-off plate modified with an exhaust pipe turndown, that directs the heated air away from the rider...
That night be worth looking into! :thumbup:

It's above 95 where I live most of the summer and I never wear shorts.

2014 right grille trimmed to fit earlier models cost $25. The gear police can take a break he did not ask for your clothing opinions.

Dave,
Sorry...
We don't know the experience level of the original poster of this thread. If they've got virtually zero saddle-time on motorcycles; they may not be aware of the fact that ALL bikes put out heat... :shocked:
...and one's choice of clothing can make a huge difference as to how that heat is perceived! nojoke
