Reply With QuoteThe 1125R does get a little hot, but not nearly as hot as the XB. Why don't you try basic heat shielding on your XB first?
Hey, I have an XB12R and am thinking of getting a 1125R in hopes that it can handle the heat better. Has ridden, or even better owned both that could tell me if the liquid cooling actually works properly? Thanks a ton.

Wrapping the exhaust?
ceramic coated header, special ops heat blanket(or home made like I did) and right side scoop.
But that will all run the better half of $1,000. and from what I havve heard they help, but not a ton.
$160 for the header, $35 for the blanket, I'm not sure how much the scoop is. Maybe $300 max. Total $500.
But if you want an 1125R then go test ride it! It's scary fast! If you have the cash then go for it!
Oh, and after I got mine tuned, it ran cooler because it's not running as lean.
Well I'm having a weird issue with mine as well. And special ops aren't returning my calls
It is the begining of summer. Maybe they're on vacation
Possibly
Dave thanks for the tips and specs. So has anyone owned both and noticed a difference in the heat? After all, this thread is really only revilement if the 1125 really does scorch the crotch less.
