If you ride hard you will push the machine to its limits and generate a lot of heat ...when hot the efficiency will get worse and worse and thus you will generate even more heat if you continue to push for the power
at 80degrees Celcius the machine will cut out from overheating
I had a heat-cut-out once on my MSuper2 on a VERY hot summer day 2016 ...nocked me unconsciuous for 15 minutes and I broke 2 ribs
I have had 4-5 warnings on my Monster since 2016 and lately it became worse ...so I decided to do something about it!
----
I installed a fan ...blowing the hot air OUT OF the machine and I also created a real air intake
Both can be "plugged" if it starts to rain
the intake is a DIY top of a PET bottle (!) and a motorbike airfilter attached using velcro
the pabst fan is directly above the internal fans
result?
after pushing my Monster as hard as I could in the forest riding fast ...it did not reach more than 35 degrees Celcius
riding slow uphill pushing the motor but going slow ... it reached 44 degrees
before I had easily around 70 degrees and also got warning beeps (scary if you ride hard uphill and the directly downhill and you get the warning and tiltback when speeding downhill...scary as fuck!)
so that is why I am a fan-boy ...it feels good to know that the heat does not stay inside the machine
below some pictures
have fun ...have fan!
the motorbike airfilter ...attached by velcro
the air-intake PET bottle top
the air-intake from the outside
the air intake can be closed by the pet bottle cork
the motorbike airfilter in place held by velcro
the fan : EBM Papst 9591904100 Radialfläkt 1 st
the placement of the fan under the side cushion/pads
the air outtake can be plugged if raining
drilling the hole in the cover to fit the fan opening
the leather covers the "outblow" so the air is blown backwards down and is not directly "open for dirt"
maybee in the future we will get a well engineered EUC with military grade components on the card,
state-of-the-art software and real ventilation
until then I go for DIY ...
