Does your Spree/Elite already run great, and you're trying to make it quicker/faster? Need a monster motor swap? Discuss your ideas here.

I want to take that black plastic shroud off over the fan that goes up over the engine and has the hole for the spark plug to stick out. I was wondering if it would still keep my engine cool

Is that a legit question? Try searching the forums before making a worthless thread. The fan shroud keeps cool air circulated around the head and keeps your bike from getting hot. The fan itself just draws in new air

circulating air is just circulating air. i didnt know the cover actually moved it around the engine, i try not to study fans everyday of my life. no need to be a smartass and dis my question, i already got the answer.
