Ice/Snow on Attak rear light

[jimmie d]

LED does not give off heat so this thing is covered after a couple miles and worthless at night. Anybody found a solution.

YEP YOUR RIGHT.........BUT...


....I tryed spraying on PAM COOKING SPRAY


So Far..........It seems to be working, I'm Wondering If Anti Fogging Spray might work as it works on my Visor & Glasses

Why not just reach down every now and then and brush the snow off with your hand?

That's what I do... Why make it more complicated than it needs to be? You really spram PAM cooking spray on your machine???

 

[jimmie d]

If you ride in the deep stuff like me you would be wiping every 5 minutes

ABSOLUTELY ........WORKS



It takes the "FUN OUT OF RIDING A YAMAHA" when you have to stop to ADJUST ANYTHING


After getting rear ended last year I WANT A CLEAR REAR LIGHT ALL THE TIME, that means NOT HAVING TO STOP TOO CLEAN IT


I have a PASSENGER TO WORRY ABOUT TO

IF it works, why not...

PAM works for the skid as well. I use to have to spray the 05 warrior all the time. Keeps snow and ice from building in skid area.

BRILLIANT! I feel like the Guinness commercial.

I may have to give that a try in the rear of the tunnel.

The only sleds Ive ever seen that didnt get snow buildup on the taillight were the Polaris sleds with the wrap-around taillight. The '98 XCs had this design. The lightbulds were in the side of the taillight, and the theory was that the lens didnt get warm enough for the snow to stick.
Non-stick cooking spray is an interesting idea. Do you have to spray your taillight every day, or does one application keep the light snow-free for the entire season?

Or you could buy the Excell Exhaust and any time you stop it melts the snow =).

Could use some light weight spray oils too... I have used plastic mold release they use in making plastic parts.. Dad is a Plastics eng and got some samples in the mail here at the house.. Worked good on the hyfax getting them on and off.. Slid right on...

Rain X works well too. I also wear a BV2S helmet that has the led light. My buddy commented the other day there was alot of snow dust at night and he couldn't see my tail light but could still see my helmet light.

This is one of the very best safety things you can do..........Under $12 unbelievable visability
