Does an Air-Cooled R1200GSA Overheat Crawling Pace in 100+ Degrees F?

Here in the Philippines we remove the catalyctic converter..it improves a lot..it only overheats when traffic is real bad..but of course it would depend on where you are..some countries are more strict than others..subbed to your channel..awesome video by the way..

Thank you! I appreciate the support. I'd love to visit the Philippines someday. I am quite interested in the cat delete. Does the ECU remap itself automatically? What are the benefits?

curious to see the long term test. I started when there were only air cooled bikes

[@GreaseAndGravel]

Thanks for the comment, Terry. I love the simplicity of air cooled bikes. I also prefer carbs.

I allways thought that this engines would turn off themselves when they overheat. Mine is a 2009 model and the engine doesnt sound happy when im on traffic on a hot day...

[@GreaseAndGravel]

I am not sure... it was pretty hot and I rode walking pace for at least 20 min and it still ran fine. Maybe a bit rough, but not too noticeable. I think they can take more than we can in the heat.

Any chance you have the bashplate design

I’ll ask my friend Rory if he’ll share the design file Email me at [e-mail] 👊🏼
