Where is the heat coming from?

If it's coming from the right calf/shin area, you need to get your "Y" gaskets replaced.

When I'm on my hwy peg on the right side it's hot. But my engine runs at 5bars.

Heat has to leave the engine compartment some way.

Does your RS have SpyderPop's heat management system? That will redirect the heat away from your feet.

Also, if your RS has more than 20k miles, there's a good chance your 'Y' gaskets has failed. Replace it with the Honda brand gasket. Don't have the P.N. handy, but someone can chime in with the number.

Have to agree..!!

spyderpops air management products do the trick. I put them on my 2012 RS and fixed the problem. The "Y" gaskets can cause problems if burned out I replaced mine with the honda gaskets when I changed my pipe. The Kewlmetal (I have the JT's ) air cleaner will open up the air flow in the engine compartment but will have an air flow sound which I like. Running 5 bars is normal in warm weather and none of the above will help that...:thumbup:

Is this Honda part good to use on the newer bikes? Like my 2013 ST?
