Zitat von Paffen im Beitrag #16 Paffen: I meant the BMW spoilers that are featured on some of the RS models (eg: Sport SE) They divert exhaust header heat away from the rider’s feet. BMW rarely adds a feature that doesn’t have a purpose. The LC motors place their exhaust ports a great deal closer to the pegs than previous power plants...  “I would rather be ashes than dust!" ~ Jack London |

Zitat von Blackshirt im Beitrag #31Zitat von Paffen im Beitrag #16 I've owned a 2016 rs without these trims under the cylinders and a 2017 with them on and there is no noticeable difference on heat. Save money unless you like the look of them. Ged

Paffen, just a thought on this, I don’t get hot feet, but I have added adjustable foot pegs and lowered them as far as possible to improve my posture , that probably lowers the foot sufficiently to improve the airflow under the cylinder heads versus the standard set-up. Hard to be sure, but it could be an option for you. |

I have lowered my footpegs too - I used the MV Motorrad ones. |
