P1000m5 Engine Heat - Good or Bad?

[Kaptain]

I look forward to your results with the this fan idea.

I am heading out camping for the weekend and it is supposed to be 90 degrees, so this will be the first real test of the bilge fan/insulation arrangement I have going now

went for a short ride with my neighbor saturday night. he mentioned he could feel the heat, until i turned the fan on. Seemed to go away pretty quick after that. This is a 7" fan.

That is a nice looking install. I will see how the current arrangement works, and might try that if it is not sufficient.

thanks. Didn't have to drill any holes which i liked. Used small angle brackets. Need to bend the one with the bolt going through it a little more. But it seems pretty stable so far. Time will tell.

Is that fan design specifically for dusty, wet applications? Where did you get it? Hopefully it works well - probably easier than installing ducting and cutting a hole in the bottom of the machine.

Me and my daughter went for a ride about 15 mile round trip and she never once complained about the heat. I think this fan will work awesome

Did you connect the bottom of the fan to anything or just the top 2 mounting holes?

Ok off topic. I love the days of honda painting frames red. It brightens up the nooks and crannies to see better. Alright back on topic, I like the red fan.

Just the top two, seemed rigid enough once I tightened both bolts up but I would like to add a lower mount for piece of mind

 

[Dragon21]

Ive thought about trying to do at least 1 of the lower bolts to stiffen it just a tad more

I ran two uprights to the upper bar so all 4 could be used probably overkill though

So I was talking to a friend with a pioneer. He has the same heat issues as me. He set a thermometer in the crack between the seats and it hit 165 degrees!!!! He talked to our local shop in Des Moines and they have the regional service manager and his boss coming in to look at his machine. He also took him pictures of the mods I did for the heat. I talked to the shop as well and they claim that Honda is going to come out with a resolution sometime in August. So who knows.....i guess we'll see.....

I'm borrowing a thermal ir gun from work. Hoping to do some videos Friday with and without the fan to see how much it helps temperature wise. And to see where the hottest areas are

I'm guessing a cheesy heat shield.

I'm just telling you the story. I'm not promising anything.

Considering the issue I doubt they come out with a realistic solution. It would cost too much.
