P1000 FYI, Honda responce to heat problem

[educ8tedguess]

I told my dealer about the issue three months ago. He's in Monroe NC and the SC plant is pretty close. I got one of the first five sets that have gone out. I think this is the first attempt at addressing the problem and they're wanting some feedback on the improvement.

That makes sense. I hope it helps your ride

This is a picture from the installation instructions of the kit. The pieces of weather strip go on the panel behind the seat the top part off.

Whats the word on this fix?

 

[HondaTech]

Still haven't done ours yet, I'll report s soon as we do. Our customer uses the heck out of his unit and it's hard to schedule a time to get him in.

That fix looks to suck. An prob won't fix it

But it's free and a good recognition of a problem so it's a start

I'm glad someone ousted pictures because I looked today after we washed it down and couldn't really see anything to take pictures of. The good news is in 95 plus degree riding for about five hours there was a big improvement . I do also have the under the seat Ebay product installed which helped, but this seems to have made a big improvement.

So the insulator was still able to be in there as well? I'm super glad to hear your positive review! Did it help for the dust?

Thanks for the up date, I'm glad it helped, I will be calling Honda this week.

Did it stop just the seat heat or did it stop the heat coming up behind/between the seat and the seat back as well?

How about the heat on the back of your legs, I assume no different?

It looks to be of the same material as what is covering the opening under the drivers side seat.

I sure hope it's thicker then that! :-(

I had the back seats folded down all day. Front seat was better all the way around.

You didn't happen to put your arm up on the back of the bench seats did you? That is surprisingly hot on my machine. I assume this change wouldn't affect it, but honestly looking at the part, I have no idea where it even goes.

That does not look good to me! Thats a bandaid.

Does anyone know if this is installed under the body and not under the seat area?

I believe this is installed under the body panel itself. That's why I couldn't see anything to take a picture and my under the seat insulation was undisturbed. My dealer told me the material was supposed to absorb the heat and not transfer it on the other side. Thick, thin or otherwise it cooled mine off more than the under the seat insulation alone had done. It's a big step in the right direction. I can't speak for any improvements for rear passengers as I haven't had my seats up.

Thanks Allen.....you didn't happen to have full aftermarket skid plate installed did you?

I wonder if it goes under the plastic under their feet? I was looking last night and I thought about what it would take to add an extra layer of insulation there.
