Transverse 4 cylinders John. They get air drawn off of them when in motion. #3 on the R3 is tucked behind two huge and hot cylinders with no ambient relief. Thats why even the CBX could function with 6 cylinders, it got some air.

I dunno, that is one very big radiator compared to a GW radiator. If it has a heat issue (I am not saying it does) lowers would change the air flow behind the radiator. This would cook the rider or #3 cylinder.

I am just thinking out loud. I am unwilling to think Triumph doesn't know how to make a touring bike. Thats just stupid thinking on their part if they can't so I am wondering if its mechanical instead.


I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.
