will this cooling idea work ?

[blue04]

Since I got my plastics off I was thinking about wrapping my gas tank and intake pipe with this aluminum tape to keep heat out. Has anyone done this or heard of this?

I really don't think it will change anything

Oh I figured that black plastic would get hot

The reason people who race put heat sheild material on the bottom of the gas tank is to keep the fuel from heating up and building excess pressure in the tank. It also keeps the fuel from getting extremely hot to where it will affect performance of the motor during the summer, and fall series.. I have never had to do this on any of my Yamaha's but have had to in the past to the Honda's.
