brugal Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Usually a sign of overheating is when you hear water bubbling in you radiator. The pipes are supposed to get very very very HOT, dont touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotulMonsta Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Pipe temp isn't a true indication of engine temp. Banshee engine runs hot. So long as it runs smooth, isn't breaking up or spitting coolant and doing any other bashee related temper tantrums, it should be fine. Now if your engine loses power after riding for a while and then after it cools off it runs better, it's running too hot. If coolant starts pissing out the radiator overflow and you hear it hissing and spitting, it's running too hot. if the engine stalls and you can't kick it over because it's seized, it running too hot. You can richen the premix and jet settings to cool it off a bit as a lean motor runs hot or invest in a better impeller or radiator to help cool it off. Or get an aftermarket head that hold more coolant. Also if you didn't mix your coolant right, it will run hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincster Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Are you serious? Every exhuast system runs hot, it is supposed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
