recurveshooter Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Not that it matters at this time of year (my bike is surrounded by snow) but I wonder if anyone ever noticed their engine running warmer after installing a radiator guard. Just asking.... recurveshooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayrexer Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I have an R&G radiator guard installed on my bike. After two months I have seen no difference in heat rising or lowering. I live in Northern Nevada which is very hot in the summer, and gets below freezing most of the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted December 2, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted December 2, 2015 I have an Evotech guard on my bike and noticed no temperature difference. It surprised me that there was not at least a slight difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hippiebikerchick Posted December 2, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 2, 2015 Evotech on mine and no change in engine temps. Illegitimi non carborundum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member snowdriftless Posted December 2, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 2, 2015 Marginal difference on a hot day. Nothing to worry about because the bike has radiator fans. P1: Vice? I have no vice, I'm as pure as the driven snow! P2: Yeah but you've been drifting All the gear all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
