jbooker82 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 My point is this. If your vehicle operates between 180-215 (what you see on the instrument display), if you shoot the top of the cylinder head with an IR thermal gun, the reading will be higher. Measuring temp at the top of the Banshee head, what would be acceptable. Maybe next time one of you is out riding and sees their water temp (by gauge) around 190-200 or wherever you prefer it, take a reading at the cylinder head. I am curious. How do you figure they external head temp would be hotter than the liquid temp that is coming from the inside of the head? The water temp should be higher than the surface temp of the head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeguy_81 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Im new to banshees and i was riding mine hard the other day and my inline temp gauge was about 200. How do u rejet the temp down to a cooler temperature to run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 That ain't so bad. But before you go and jet it, what your rad look like? Does it have sufficient air flow? Is your pump all good? Not chewed up broken fins? No point in jetting if you can't get the coolant to dissipate the heat through the rad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeguy_81 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yea after i rode it i let it cool down and washed it. The radiator is pretty clean and the fins r pretty good. I only have a few bent down so i know the airflow is pretty good. So u think 200 is pretty good temp. Do the oversize radiators fit without having to do any modifications to the front nose plasyic. Thought about getting one just to be sure and keep the temp undercontrol Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeguy_81 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Do the oversized radiators fit without doing any modifications to the front nose piece. Is the enought clearance for it??? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I just put one on my bike 2 days ago. Fits fine. It won't be any cooler. But looks way better. Where do you ride? What kind of load is on the motor? How fast do you move? If you climbing hills and weaving between trees going slow, if expect your engine temp to go up. But if your ripping down a straight fire road, you could expect some lower numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeguy_81 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Well im about 215 and bike has awesome power so i try and do 100 everywhere i go. So much better then my shitty blaster which is 4 sale now. Mostly trails and just back roads till i get to the trails Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee98 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Oversized ones fit no prob. There on eBay for like 70 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Can you guys post your inline water temp gauges installed and where you got them from? i have a temp gun but i want an inline gauge. Also remember you need your bike to be moving to cool it off. There's no fan like modern 4 stroke sport atv's. If for some reason i need mine to idle for a while like for syncing carbs, i get a shop blower or two blowing at the front grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutwood 472 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I run a trail tech TTO inline gauge...I run between 170-190 trailing with over sized rad and billet high flow impeller....200 if im abusing it in the woods with little air flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
