New idea for a Yamaha Super Tenere Heating System (Easy to make)
Function:
This design is a add on Heating system that uses a portion of the hot air exhausted from the radiator and redirects this Hot air inside the riders coat.
Design:
The hot air collector is mounted on the hot air exhaust side of the radiator. At the end of the collector a hose is attached that fits inside the riders jacket that stops about the middle of the chest. See attached pictures
Testing:
• With the collector installed the engine temperature runs on average 5 to 8 degrees above normal running temperatures. Would remove the collector if the ambient temperatures are above 70 degrees or riding in a lot of slow moving traffic .
I would not recommend connecting the collector hose if the ambient temperature is above 65 deg. F as the rider will get uncomfortable “to warm”‘.
• At a 42 degrees outside temperature and 70 Miles per hour the system delivers a constant flow of warm air inside the riders coat. At slower speeds the air flow is reduced as air flowing through the radiator is reduced.
