I prefer the smaller screen as I seem to get less buffeting, as for overheating - no issues according to my dealer who are a Kawasaki Authorised Supercharged Centre.THOR wrote: Mon Aug 06, 2018 2:19 pm Is it better with the shorter screen? also heard some overheating issues from the dealer you should watch the temps if you install the radiator guard they say.

Is that the 15-18 KAWASAKI NINJA-H2: Yoshimura Fender Eliminator Kit? Did you use the stock turn signals? Did you need to order the universal turn signal bracket kit? Thanks for your reply!

No its the R and G one with OEM turn signals mate, everything you needs comes with it.ricer1 wrote: Tue Aug 07, 2018 3:24 pm Is that the 15-18 KAWASAKI NINJA-H2: Yoshimura Fender Eliminator Kit?

Re: Finally everything has arrived.
you don't have to believe it, I heard a few times. if you leaving the bike alone without no full exhaust or flash i guess its ok , but when you do some performance upgrades that bike will run hot. Didn't you heard about people with H2 melting their engines .?

Re: Finally everything has arrived.
A radiator guard is not going to affect the temperatures a noticeable amount. Flash and exhaust are not going to melt an engine without significantly bumping the redline as part of the flash.THOR wrote: Tue Aug 07, 2018 9:55 pmyou don't have to believe it, I heard a few times. if you leaving the bike alone without no full exhaust or flash i guess its ok , but when you do some performance upgrades that bike will run hot.

You are spreading lies saying that a radiator guard will raise your engine temps a noticeable amount. You are a liar plain and simple. The "melted" engines you are referring I'm assuming are the highly modified engines that were constantly raced and running significantly higher boost. Such as Gadson's, boosted H2's (posted above), and 650ibs. All those bikes were making over 300hp. To make the power they were making they were producing significantly higher boost temperatures which has very little to do with the radiator on the bike. All those bikes were often run around redline for significant amounts of time. A stock motor run like that wouldn't last long either. To imply that a radiator guard melted their engines is ridiculous.
A bike with bolt-on modifications (exhaust, tune and air filter) is not going to have any issues as a result of installing a radiator guard. If the BS your spreading was true there would be hundreds of bikes blown up as a result of running a radiator guard.

Re: Finally everything has arrived.
Obviously not, but I do agree with Thor's point that stressed engines run hotter and can use all the cooling they can.

Re: Finally everything has arrived.
You guys ran right off the track somewhere in this thread. Whyscotty's engine is unlikely to be stressed by the addition of a tail tidy, a lower screen and some new treads.roadczar wrote: Tue Aug 07, 2018 11:13 pm Obviously not, but I do agree with Thor's point that stressed engines run hotter and can use all the cooling they can.
Whyscotty - the low, tinted screen looks good. I need to look into that option.

Re: Finally everything has arrived.
I have the low tinted screen and I get less buffeting compared to the standard screen. Besides that - it is by far more good looking.
To claim that a simple radiator guard will cause temperature problems is ridiculous. Nothing more to say!!
