P1000m3 Heat problem a simple fix

[pgiannetto65]

I posted a couple of months ago about removing engine cover to fix heat problem. I'm here to tell you guys it's such an easy fix. I've been running it a couple months now and I'm almost ready to say problem solved. I want to run it some more on hot days and I'll let you guys know my results. Just for the record I have a 1000-3 with roof, split windshield, and back panel. I think I'll always have a little bit of a heat issue with my setup but nothing like I use to.

I got the idea to remove the engine cover from Polaris and Yamaha. I noticed there engines were not covered and allowed engine heat to escape. Here is picture of cover removed

So you're talking about the plastic shroud over the engine?

 

[drfubar]

I've got the 3 seater so I might try it for something to do.

Agreed, this will not work for anyone sitting in the two back seats

Because there are people that ride in the back two seats in a 5 seater... steam and heat right in their faces isn't a fun ride.

Yeah right!!! You would just remove cover. Paint it red. And reinstall. You ain't fooling anyone. We know your MO.

Shroud is behind the seat and does nothing to keep your feet cool in the 3 seater. Now the 5 seater you might have an issue. I took it off this morning but haven't had a chance yet to try it.. By mid afternoon it will be hot and I'll take a lengthy ride with it. Maybe even hit a couple of water puddles..lol

He's talking about a p1000-5.. you know they make the pioneer 1000 in a 5 seater? The seats fold up out of the bed and that's where the rear passengers put their feet. Geeesh... a little early to be hitting the mash!

Never too early but that's another tale...Soooo quick to jump on poor ole drfubar. Read my post just above yours @JTW! See----->"the 5 seater you might have an issue"

Noticeable improvement on the 3 seater. I'm leaving it off for the summer for sure. Also makes checking oil a whole lot easier too.
