Heat problem

[wilfredopr]

My friend have the radiator managment system and heat shield from Spyderpops. But still too hot. Has anyone remove the radiator bottom tupperware? And it is worth it?

I have done this on both my RTs and have noticed no heat problems even without the spyderpops fix...

...Pulled mine off the bike also; no problems and no heat issues ever!

Maybe 11 years ago when I was living on the island I would be worried on removing the bottom panels due to the road conditions there.:chill: But the last couple of trips I've done I've seen some improvements on the roads so I can say that it is safe!hyea:

What if you just make series of holes under instead removing the whole panel? This way you'll get hot air to exit and still protection underneath.

There was a thread in here covering that very topic! :thumbup: I think I recall that they used a 2" holesaw...

Leave well enough alone

Some things are best just left alone; particularly heat removal from the engine and cooling system. Blocking heat and hot air from an easy exit will only send the heat somewhere else. I noticed my cooling system Temp went up after installing the heat mods, etc. Took them off, replaced the panels and it ran cooler.

I'm getting a lot of heat at the fuel door on my Corbin Seat. I don't think it is insulated as well as the OEM Comfort Seat.

Again, when a major part of a vehicle is changed, it cause reactions in other systems. I love the Corbin seat and now I have to get my headers and exhaust wrapped to shield the heat coming though the seat. Don't get me wrong; I am glad I switched seats.

The only reason for heat mods I can think of is to use highway pegs, which I was going to do. My Seal floorboard pups give me all the foot freedom I need.

besides, I wonder how many have added a hand brake that use the highway pegs to counter the safety issue.

Always...Point! Counter Point!

My thoughts

I did both, spyderpops and bottom pans removed and quite frankly I find just a little benefit, at least here in
Az. Sitting in traffic with 90 plus temp. nothing but a hugh fan is going to work.

I was getting so much heat on my legs that I had to wear soccer shun guards. Thanks to some suggestions on spyderlovers, I had the gaskets checked and two of them were leaking. (2011 RS-S). Now no heat.
