turbowrenchhead Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Anyone have a pic of this. I bought the machine without one. I still have to buy a replacement. I looked on a Yamaha parts fiche but I could not find the coolant bottle anywhere. I have a 93 frame, so did they run them those years?

sheerider11 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Run it in the garbage. No need for them. If you must, it mounts on the back of the air box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbowrenchhead Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I suppose its really not needed. Just run a hose off the nipple down the frame a bit and be done with it. I don't have the stock air box anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have mine pointing at the exhaust so if it were to piss I would smell or hear or see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 thats what i do.. if it drips on the exhaust ill know its overheating or blown headgasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbowrenchhead Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 That is a good idea. I'm going to set it up that way. Catch the problem before it gets real bad quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbowrenchhead Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I shouldn't have any overheating problems with an over sized radiator right? I did all the other coolant upgrades. My buddies stock 92 had problems with overheating. He slapped a cheap ebay over sized radiator on it and then it was fine. I should be good for riding in 100 degrees or more with the upgrades that I made I would hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 well theres more than just radiator size that plays a role in a bike staying cool/overheating. Too lean of jetting, or too rich of jetting can cause the motor to overheat also. Along with slow speeds. A lot of tight trail riders will be riding slow/technical areas and notice their bike starting to run hot and will find a road and open the bike up to get air movement through the radiator. You have to remember, these bikes may be liquid cooled....but they do not have fans to help draw the heat out of the radiator. Riding style also depicts the temperature your bike runs. Lugging the bike will cause the motor to build unwanted heat....ive actually seen 5-10* difference by downshifting and running the motor a little quicker.
