This thing is HOT!!!

Not sure if you have tried this but I took the lower deflectors off of mine that are on the fairing and it opens alot of air for me!! I can put them back on when it get cooler out and I need them. You just have to take the face off of your fairing and you have a couple of screw there.

That is an excellent idea. Not that 90 degree temps will linger in our area for the next 6 days, I may look into removing my lowers at least only for the summer months.

Sorry did not cleans off the Bugs lately LOL

 

Really looks like my 02 RSMV. I believe that water is bad for these bikes. Therefore I wash it twice a year.

Rich,

 

Yes, certainly lots of parts.

If you're getting rattles it may be worth giving the bike a once over and tightening everything you can. There are lots of posts on the site about parts loostening including, side bag covers, heel toe shifters, trunk lids, passing lamps, etc. Personally, I had the trunk lid on mine loosten so far, it wouldn't latch closed, also had one of the passing lamps loosten to the point that it was lighting up my front tire. Apparently Yamaha doesn't believe in aircraft nuts or locktite. Don't get too discouraged, it really is a great bike once you figure it out. Like you said, lots of parts there...

 

Ride safe.

Thanks for the feed back on this. I have not had the time to study this on my bike yet so I just took the deflectors off for now. That seems to have helped move some of the heat away.

I need to pull this thing apart to see hpw it's put together. One of the things it does that makesd me want to pull it apart, is, it rattles and squeaks when I hit a bump. It makes me think that something is loose. But then, I've never had a bike with so mamy what-nots on it. All my bikes have been pretty stripped.

Thanks

Rich
