Well, this sucks. I just noticed that both lowers on my 07 1000RR are starting to show signs of heat warping. The left side (as sitting on it) is worse than the right. It's almost at the very bottom, near the straight edge. They both still fit fine, but I think when they get a little worse I'll take them down to the dealer and request new ones under warranty. They're damn sure not getting the whole bike.
I also noticed that the mids are getting it too - but not showing the signs of it on the outside. Those interior padding pieces, the ones that are like a fiberous material, are starting to melt too. I thought this problem was fixed on last years model?
Anybody else seeing this?

 

sorry melted lower what? i wanna check mine too.

 

That sux. I've got an 06 and haven't had any problems yet. Hope the dealership doesn't try to find a way out of taking replacing them.

 

The lower fairings

 

thanx d, so why does it do this? is the coolant not working fast enough or what?

 

I've read on other threads to take that heat-tape stuff and go over your inner fairings to prevent this from happening. And from what I've read, it works.

 

hey dwhite645,
I bought the 07 as well, thought it was fixed, but didnt take the chance and applied the heat tape that I bought from Home Depot. So, far so good.

 

i dunno about you guys but when i spend $12000 dollars on a bike i don't think it's right that i have to heat tape the sh%t out of it. my 06 hasn't melted yet but if it did and honda wouldn't fix it i'd definately be mad.

 

I have read about this happening and I have been told that the dealer will replace the fairing under the warranty.

 

okay so im all ears, i buy heat tape at home depot and apply itto the inner fairings or the pipes?? no clue?? thanx guys.
