This was my first mod on the bike after a month of ownership. These made riding so much more comfortable and I recommend these to anyone who has the same problem.
D'estate a 40°c temperatura dell'aria...su una naked...avete provato?le tibie bruciano come se fossero su un BBQ...questa in confronto è un condizionatore acceso
@@mattmoy24 that's when you notice it big time. Riding at 100 you really don't notice it. if you commute like me in shit traffic and 34 deg and up they cook you those fans!
Another way to think of the heat, is that the Fans are doing their job venting the hot air out. I’ll be picking up a 2023 900 GT-Pro next week, I just subscribed to your channel 👍
I have this problem with my tiger 900 GT Pro, especially on summer days. It is true that, in my case, with route clothing the heat is reduced, even so I think that with this accessory the reduction of heat can be important. I'm going to buy it right now, I think that for €45 I have a lot to gain and little to lose. Thank you very much for your video and advice.
I'm on my 2nd 900 GT Pro and I don't usually feel heat on my knees, maybe because I ride a little further back. However, I have heard other folks that did experience the heat on the knees. I made some deflectors out of old mild cartons, 3M velcro, a small piece of aluminum and heat reflective foil tape, just for a test. The first ones I made I just used regular velcro and after several months the 100 degree heat made the velcro adhesive give way. No such problems with the 3M velcro. I scooted up on the seat and the deflectors worked well. Defecting the air an inch or two out in the airstream is all I think a person under six foot would need. It is nice to see someone sells a product that works, although it was fun to make my own.
Thanks for sharing that Flat Cap Cafe Racer. The product is so simple and it's something most people could easily make a version of it with plastic or aluminum. I agree that the little bit of air flow it diverts makes a difference.
Great video. I'm gonna check these out...Hmmm. I too got the Outback Motortek crash bars (trying to avoid the bolt shear issue). What did you get to mount your Sat Nav/GPS on your wind visor ?
So the gps mount is a whole other story. I think I’m going to do a video on it. I actually used part of a bicycle seat mount to jerry-rig a gos mount. I bought a real mount that I haven’t installed yet.
I have the same temperatures here in the Australian summer. It's the only thing I hate about the bike. I use it to commute in peak hour traffic, stop start and lane filtering... Does my head in.... Thanks for the info :p
Yea that’s probably my number one gripe about the bike. I’ve noticed a little bit of a difference but it’s not a total fix to the problem. Any bit helps though. Thanks!
Ah bummer man. Might look elsewhere because this particular product is available by other manufacturers for way cheaper than when I bought them. Maybe someone else makes something for the 660. Thanks for watching though. I grew up in Katy, H town is my old stomping grounds.
No issues yet. They’ve actually saved my bike a couple times. I’ve dropped it a couple times and they’ve held up. Both sides did bend in closer to the body when it was dropped on each side. The bars are close to the brake and shifter but not an issue for my size 9 feet.
I am 5'8". I suspect the leg heat issue is relative to the rider's height. For me, the leg heat is only an issue on very hot days. On cold days, it feels great to stick your hands in the vents to warm up.
Yeah I didn’t see this issues on reviews until I experienced it and Googled it. I found a lot of forums where people talked about it. A lot of people say they don’t notice it but I do when it’s hot outside and when it’s cold it turns into a nice hand warming feature. Thanks for watching.
I notice it in full riding gear. I wear full gear just about every ride and have felt the heat. I’ve read mixed reviews online. It bothers some people more than others. Thanks for watching.
@@timetomoto still thinking, now between tiger 900 and tracer 9 gt. heat is something I hated on Monster 937, I’m not sure if I can live with it because commuting will be a significant part of my biking. Need to have a proper test ride of tiger now as I see more and more people complaining about annoying heat so it must be quite noticeable.
@@Yurii_Ko sounds good. I will say that I’ve had multiple comments where people claim they don’t notice the heat. But if you search you’ll see other people experiencing the same issue I have. So it really depends on the rider I guess. It doesn’t really bother me until I’ve been on it for a while (couple hours) and the deflectors I put on seemed to help a little.
@@timetomoto I ordered the heat shields, I hope they work. I wish they had kept the 120/120/120 camshaft firing intervals, the vibrations are a bit much above 5500 rpm, but below that they don’t bother me. The 2017 1200 that I owned was too heavy and big for me so I got the 2022 GT pro 900. Now I’m longing for more power. There is no perfect motorcycle!
Hi Jack. It’s hard to explain because it’s a hack using a small Ram mount and a bicycle seat mount. I mentioned it briefly in the video link below around the 2 minute mark. I basically rigged up a temporary solution using and old bicycle seat mount. I’ll be doing an install video on a proper GPS mount in the future. ruclips.net/video/7mwhNz4WGtE/видео.html I ordered this and will be installing it in a few weeks. evotech-performance.com/products/ep-garmin-compatible-sat-nav-mount-triumph-tiger-900-gt-2020-onwards?user_id=184161379&list_generator=order_line_item&context=order_management
Interesting I do find the seat area getting annoyingly hot, but didn't think it would be from the radiator vents, as I do not feel it on my knees , but yeah, it does make sense, Thanks for the video ! Coming from a suzuki vstrom the tiger is much cooler and I was not complaining, but if it can be improved I'll be happier
Good to know Rodrigo. I've read forums where people debated this. It bothers some people more than others. In my case, I was feeling the heat but you're going to feel some heat on any bike since you're on top of the engine. The radiator opening were blowing the heat right back onto my legs so I felt this mod was something to try out.
Guess you don't wear knee pads, here in UK its never warm enough and I have no issues with my 900 gt pro, both my jeans, textiles and leather's have knee pads which deflect the heat. As you drilled the hole why didn't you bolt your finger on as well, sorry just joking couldn't resist:-)
Haha, I might have if it was my pinky but I can't give up my clutch finger. I do wear padding riding gear with knee protection but the mesh probably allows the hot air to seep through. Thanks for watching.
@@timetomoto You want to be glad you didn't invest in a BMW, my brother has one and his shins fry in summer, on the other hand on my Tiger my toes are cold in winter.
Hey don’t moan too much about the heat from the bike that would be great in the winter to keep you warm pay extra for that Other bikes Not a problem for me
Yea I hear you. It becomes a feature during the winter. Texas winters are mild so it’s not needed most of the time. Some people are bothered by it where others don’t notice. I only notice it on really hot days. But hey I’m sitting on top of a hot engine so some heat is expected.
I completely understand. We have hot summers as well. I obviously I don’t mind it in the winter. I can put my hands in there to warm them up if needed. But winters are pretty light in Texas with the exception of the occasional ice storm apocalypse. Thanks
As a chilly Canadian, I consider the heat issue less like a problem and more like a solution.
Haha Yes, it's a nice feature when it's cold outside.
Being from Maine I thought so too.
Hi. The same in Poland 😀 the heat issue is more solution than problem 👌
I’ll echo this from NW England. Heated grips, seat and gilet have been a godsend
same in Scotland - this is a plus - can put your hand there when the fan is on and warm it up also :) ( i know it has heated grips )
This was my first mod on the bike after a month of ownership. These made riding so much more comfortable and I recommend these to anyone who has the same problem.
👍 Thanks for watching Alex. Glad they work for you too. I’ve seen mixed reviews but do still think it works for me and was worth doing.
I put 18000 miles on my 900 this summer, over 100 degrees across the prairies. Never really noticed a heat issue, though I had heard about it.
Thanks Tom. Seems like a lot of people don’t notice or think it’s an issue.
Traffic amplifies the issue greatly I've noticed. I can't stand slow rides on a hot day.

I traded my 900 GT, not for that reason, but I was offered an amazing trade in value for it, so I got a 2023 Rocket-3R 👍🇬🇧
The heat is present without the fans on with my 23.

Any problems with the OM bars or bolts breaking.

Does the bike run warmer?
I've had mine 900 for about 3 weeks, my left knee cooks
Thanks for the review
Hi Tony. The deflectors don't make the bike run hotter. They just redirect the airflow a little. Thanks
It's a slight heat issue but if you are riding with gear you don't notice it.. if you are in Bluejeans or less then yes ... and im in south tx..lol
I notice it in full riding gear. I wear full gear just about every ride and have felt the heat. I’ve read mixed reviews online. It bothers some people more than others. Thanks for watching.
I notice it more in full gear than I do in jeans. In my mesh pants, my legs get VERY hot when it's 95+.
You are very entertaining.
Thanks 😜

I've got over 19k km on my 2021 GT Pro and the heat isn't a concern at all.
