Hello fellas,
Does anyone have any updates on the engine compartment fan?
I picked up a 1000-5 last summer. The first trip we took it on was to my hometown of Mesquite Nevada for our first ride... It was about 115° outside and we had the glass windshield installed... We just about melted... Especially my 5 year old girl who was sitting directly over the motor on the front seat...
It was a pretty miserable experience for all 5 of us. We quickly realized that the removing the windshield was mandatory for the extreme heat.
I looked into the fixes for this and purchased the heat shield/insulation kit for under the seat and an overheat kit (aftermarket thermostat and water wetter). Neither of of which are installed yet.
I also came across a Facebook post with John Law's video of the under seat fan.
This looks like it may work pretty well but I would like some updated feedback. Especially from anyone who regularly has rear passengers prior to cutting a big hole into my new machine.
Thank you!
