I own a 2020 R1250 GSA and am interested in installing this kit specifically made for the GSA.

Has anyone installed this and what is their feedback?

As we all know heat is a killer of a lot of moving parts and I would like to keep it to a minimum as possible, why BMW did not give a second fan just beats me...

The reason only one side has the fan is because it blocks air flow at higher speed.. If your doing a lot of dirt and going slow when it's very hot outside, like death valley hot, a second fan is for you. If not keep it as it is.

Solution looking for a problem. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

When I was riding out in S Dakota two summers ago it was 105 degrees but my 2020 GSA didn't have any issues handling the heat so I'd pass on a second fan.

Living in India I was worried about heat issues also.....not only because its hot but because crawling speed traffic kept on switching the fan in winters and summers....and when i mean crawling it means even slower than off road speeds....
But its been 5 years and the single fan is doing its job well....switches on when temperature rises and cuts off when it drops....

lol sound like another KLR thermobob issue that doesn't effect 99.9% of owner's . I'm sure BMW engineers has got it figured out , wouldn't waste your money

I'm in Phoenix and ride all year-no problems on my bikes at all.

The Liquid Cooled (LC) GS rarely gets overheat. In fact, I never heard one.
From the way the coolant temperature fluctuates during a city ride, I can conclude that the cooling system in this bike is very very efficient and have a lot of safety margin.
We can see the reading stays at thermostat temperature once the bike is moving at city riding speed.
Only when it is stationary, then the reading will rise and the fan will kick in somewhere at 105 degC and it will reduce the reading very fast to fan stop threshold (don't remember).
This bike doesn't need additional cooling fan.
I live in tropical climate 30-35 deg C all year long.

But that being said my buddies bike the fan rarely comes on...my bike it comes on very quickly

I live in Western Australia, and summers get to the high 40's and I've never had an issue with overheating, I would save your money!
