I think the the airflow when I'm riding on the highway, hits direct on my feet,
What I mean is that the wind pass by the boxer engine, and gives the hot engine air to my feet

The right feet is a little bit warmer than the left one.

But it's also possible that the boxer engine blocks the airflow and I feel the heat radiation of the engine. I think the second assumption is more likely.

When I drive with the mesh boots, and when I stretch my legs out in a v-shape, I immediately feel the cold wind or when I put my feet under the foot pegs instead on it, than I also feel the colder wind but that's a scenario that I try to avoid in case something happens.
I know it sounds stupid, but when the temperature hits around 25° Celsius, I already have this problem.
I commute to work with the bike and I have a drive of around 45 minutes highway
I try different boots, the mesh one and the gore tex one, the mesh one makes it worse, because you feel the heat even better

Just trying to find a solution

When to the bmw dealer, they suggested to try wunderlich spoilers, but he didn't know which one is better

So trying to get some help from fellow riders on this forum, with the previous bike a bmw k1200r sport, I never had this problem, a four in-line is totally different between a two stroke boxer engine

So strange that many of you don't have this problem

Btw, cruising speed is around 130- 140 km/h

A cool down vest works perfect in your situation,
You do have to wear a mesh jacket over your cool down vest, so it works properly.
And when sun and the heat is gone, and your cool down vest is not wet anymore, you can wear it as body warmer under your mesh jacket.

I did it the last summer

I had more heat issues on my Oil head, but these were in slow traffic on very hot days. The heat affected my forearms and wrists and was from the heat rising from the heads.
I have had no similar issues with the LC motor.
OTOH my Spyder is a torture machine, even with aftermarket ducting. The right foot and lower leg gets the heat from the radiator. The left gets it from the oil cooler.
Boots and riding pants are needed on hot days.
High horsepower motors produce high waste heat.

Hello fellow riders,

Today I called to wunderlich in Germany

Both option rain deflector and foot protector
Will not help in my case

Too pity

Hello again,
Just been going through this post again. I really haven't noticed any heat issues with my bike and I don't wear clothes or boots that are special in anyway, and the bike is stock.

This may sound stupid but I'm wondering about the ecu setups for countries with high emission standards and particularly Europe. Do the bikes there not possibly have higher exhaust temps to help burn the spent gasses and therefore creating hotter air around the riders feet?
Just a thought, like I say maybe a stupid one.

Your right foot feeling warmer is most likely due to that cylinder being closer to your footpeg. Had my bike for a few months before I noticed the offset.
