Man, I don't know why I didn't think of that, duh, of course it blocks air flow. I can't take off; maybe I'll just keep a strong eye on my air filter and coolant quality level. :: crosses fingers ::
She overheated with my daughter on it during a 2 hour commute to the beach at 94F, in a tunnel but litterly 10 seconds later, we blasted out of the underwater tunnel up to 40mph, and it immediately turned off; I guess the radiator got some wind. I changed the coolant and cleaned it out with distilled water, now she runs so much cooler, even in 90F+. Still... makes me nervous, lol, I can feel the heat on my legs on hot days, which is fine, I just get worried when carrying a passenger. I read the forums, and EVERYONE says what you said, they run hot, I just get so nervous I'll break her. I heard a rumor that changing the air filter can help too, so bought that Greek racing one some Versys-X owner on UA-cam was talking about; hoping that helps too.
Love that bike❤❤
Cool vid man, i noticed that the skid plate caused my engine to heat up faster.
