Speak for yourself. I ride mine hard all the time and for long distances. (Don’t even say it). It’s called DEI gold tape. It does work and keeps the heat out of parts. I wrap my starter in it, and my plenum. I want it as cold as possible.
Hey you ride your ride buddy, no judgement here
So are you venting crankcase to atmosphere too? I mean with 200+ degree coming off the crankcase it would basically eliminate any benefit to doing this. Im not trying to poke the bear or anything just getting some general info before doing two later wrap on mine. Silver DEI first layer and Gold second. This would be a rainy weekend mod where I would blow the farings off and wrap it from air inlets to the box.
Sure does make it look like a trick pony with the tank up....
unless you actually measure the crack case air temp then you don’t know if it’s actually >200F coming out of there. and even if it was >200F in there it doesn’t mean thats the temp getting to the air box. you have a few competing variables for air box temp. the obvious ones are cooler atmosphere air coming in from the snorkels and radiant heat from the engine area. the foil is just blocking some of the heat coming off the engine. if heat barriers weren’t useful the factory wouldnt be adding it in specific areas. is it measurable with a dyno? many mods that do affect performance arent measurable with a dyno.
