Hey! I’m not a fan of the original front fender on the tenere so I’ve bought a TT600R one. It doesn’t have the air vents. Does anyone know if it would be bad for the engine or is it ok? I live in Sweden so the weather is around 20-30 celsius in summer.
Thanks!

It will work but will mask a bit of airflow to the front engine fins..., For northern Europe I'd think you'd be okay but using it somewhere hot might well need that bit extra cooling effect... I had My TT600r in Morocco with a vented version and I had no issues at 37 degrees back in May..

Only 1VJ has temperature problems requiring them additional vents. 55W/34L should be perfectly fine without them as the fuel tank allows for more cooling air, and the intake is not under the tank.

If it doesnt have vents then it isnt a TT600R fender. They were vented
