ryansedy Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 So say you make a couple hard runs up the sand hill...you know your bikes hot right? So say if your stopping on the top on your last run....would it be better to let your bike idle, or just kill it? to let it cool faster....always wondered this. cause you can kill the fire or keep the coolant flowing...which would be better for the bike...kill it or idle it? Sorry for the retarded ass question just always think about it for some reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving a Banshee idling will make it overheat for sure, because you have no air flow.... best is to stop at the top and point into the wind if possible. That will cool the rad quick but not the engine, so wait a couple minutes and fire it up for about 30 seconds to circulate the coolant, then shut it down and wait a couple more and you should be good to go.

rubberneck Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Imho, neither of those options, i get out and ride in the open kind of easy. keep circulating air and coolant cool the whole thing down, then park it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I usually put around in like 3rd or 4th gear, at about 2,500rpm. Just enough to keep air flowing through the radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulvafan537240 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 if im idling and it gets around 200, i take it down the road about 25 or 30mph to cool it off but if its not possible for me to ride i just shut er down. never had any problems just cutting it off so far.
