Yep, I had the Ducati one fitted. Strangely for the U.K. it hasn't rained, so can't tell what it will look like, but it's pretty discrete, so don't see it being a problem
Radiator Guard
Anyone fitted a rad guard yet? I'm guessing a black radiator behind the front wheel must look pretty messy after a ride in the rain? My last bike had a silver radiator which didn't show all the crap like black. I still put a rad guard on though, just to avoid a stone going through it. What's everyone else doing?

Got a picture of it you could take and post?
Do US dealers have this part yet? Seems like a good idea to me.....
I like that it looks proper. Unlike some other aftermarket grills I have seen on some jap bikes. That looks neat and tidy.Here you go
It does look neat and I'm tempted. But any guard is going to reduce the airflow. I've seen some high temps in traffic in the UK and a little worried about making them even higher.
I live in London and haven't had the fans kick in once yet
I've kept a close eye on my temps so far...Have you? In traffic she seems to run around 210 F 98C...I'm relatively new to liquid cooled bikes so I'm not sure if that's too hot or not.I live in London and haven't had the fans kick in once yet
Seems fair. Around 110C then you should be concerned.I've kept a close eye on my temps so far...Have you? In traffic she seems to run around 210 F 98C...I'm relatively new to liquid cooled bikes so I'm not sure if that's too hot or not.
Take a look at page 89 of the owner manual. Keeping a close eye on the temps without knowing the factory parameters is iffy.I've kept a close eye on my temps so far...Have you?

The book says that temps higher than 250 F will trigger a "HI" display in the read out panel. IMO, the bike isn't being friendly and greeting you. :wink2: It means it is overheating and something needs to be done to correct the o'temp condition or to stop riding. :surprise:
I must have missed page 89 :wink2: because I did scour the manual for that exact info. Good eye, and thanks. In all of that being said it hasn't reached anywhere near 250F AND I've sat in 2 different work site stoppages for what I would discern as quite a bit of time. Once I get moving it quickly drops to around 180F. I've kept an eye on the coolant level(when cold) and that all seems good. As I said I'm used to air cooled engines so being smug about it doesn't help :wink2:Take a look at page 89 of the owner manual.

Sorry but never intended to be smug, but guilty of trying to inject some humor. Guess I failed at that, but thought I was helping you. Will be more careful if there is a next time. :smile2:.......... As I said I'm used to air cooled engines so being smug about it doesn't help :wink2:
Sorry if the humor was lost on me. I do understand the use of coolant, was just mainly concerned what temp was too hot.Sorry but never intended to be smug, but guilty of trying to inject some humor.

ive noticed that once the bike starts getting hot the right side readout starts showing the temp. i set it to avg consumption, but ive seen to switch to temp automatically.
I actually like the fact that it does this, From my understanding if you don't "save" a change you make, it reverts back to the last screen that the key was turned off on.ive noticed that once the bike starts getting hot the right side readout starts showing the temp. i set it to avg consumption, but ive seen to switch to temp automatically.
i wasnt talking about saving a setup. ice seen it switch when i was at a stop, bike running all along. It could be to make the user aware of the temp.I actually like the fact that it does this, From my understanding if you don't "save" a change you make, it reverts back to the last screen that the key was turned off on.
I understand now, thanks.i wasnt talking about saving a setup. ice seen it switch when i was at a stop, bike running all along. It could be to make the user aware of the temp.
Looks like you need a motocross bike! Does the guard bolt straight on or do you need to loosen the fairing etc to get it in?
