For those of who haven't purchased a right side scoop yet

[GW 04 XB12R]

DO IT!! Cost me $50 from surdyke.com, and my fan NEVER comes on anymore. Easily the best sounding mod you can do (lack of bad sound = good sound!). For more info, visit this thread:

Factory Buell Right Side Scoop

Looks: 8/10
Comparison with Left Scoop: 6/10
Function: 10/10
Price: 9/10 (it wasn't free )
Overall: 8+/10

 

[dave_xb12r]

Agreed

 

[Sayjackb]

whats the part number?

 

[Kplus12]

I didn't notice a change at all with the rss. Fan still runs the same amount of time.

 

[dave_xb12r]

If you have a 08-2010 with a new map, the fan is not temperature related.

 

[Kplus12]

The new map being the one that operates the fan while riding? It is an 08 but the fan runs only after shutting down or stuck in traffic in the summer.

my fan still comes on after i put on the right side scoop. what is this about a new map for the 08? do i need to get something done with it for the fans sake?

I have an 03 Bolt, and the rss helped with cooling the engine alot. My fan never comes on now.

 

[flaya564]

I actually took off the right side scoop and went with the smaller one cause it scared me not hearing the fan especially sitting in traffic.

Installed my RSS a few weeks ago. It is probably one of the best cheap mods one can do. Fan never comes on...this is includes riding the piss out of the bike. I actually had to hook my bike up to ecmspy and test the fan to make sure that it didn't die on me.

i like the idea and principal behind the right air scoop..... i just cant get past the looks of it. they could have done a better job of makeing it look more like the left scoop. It dosent look like it sits level when looking from the front and it looks like it sticks out further to the side. just my 2cents......i may even get 1 just to try and modify to look more like the left side.

thanks for the link [up]

Does right side scoop alone make a difference (cooler), or is re-flash of ECM required to get "less fan" benefit?
(mine's an '04 XB12 w/mods)

Same, cooler running, during stop 'n go/traffic without re-flash?

 

[dave_xb12r]

No reflash required. It's an easy mod.

 

[Padave]

I've had mine installed for a few months now, and really I have no change in my fan. It runs for a good ten minutes after I shut it down.

I did'nt see much change but it looks cool,easy to do and cant hurt.

 

[50dro]

The biggest change I noticed was the reduced heat on my right thigh. It was downright uncomfortable prior to the scoop but now, I feel almost no heat from the motor at all...and the fan runs much less often! Best $40 I've spent on my bike!![up]

my fan NEVER comes on anymore

I doubt that, I have one and although it comes on much less if I'm Im stop and go traffic it still comes on when I stop.
