Gday Trailboss, Im talking about the front radiator shrouds!
Its hard to explain but if you could reverse those shrouds you would find that the “venturie” effect would be a lot more efficient then trying to ram air in thru the front!

Ollie,

You seem to have heaps of gadgets on your bike so I was wondering do you have a Trailtech Vapor?I am very interested to know what the normal running water temp is both with and without the radiator shrouds.

I have currently removed mine to get the stress marks out with a heat gun and that got me thinking about what exactly they do. I assume that to a small degree they scoop the air into the front of the radiator but I am sure that they must also impede the exit air flow from the rear of the radiator, especially if you have radiator guards installed with the brackets mounted at the rear.

I am quite tempted to ventilate my old scratched up shrouds to help with cooling, plus it would give the bike that custom “factory look”

If any of you old bull…shitters have any theories or experience with what I am talking about, feel free to chime in. Even though you may not be priviledged enough to own a Yamaha, I am prepared to listen to what you have to say.

I reckon they would work better if the bike was going backwards!!!!
They probably get in the way of any breeze from the side, when going slow!
I shoulda took em off when the bike was new, put em back on for selling…
