sheerider11 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I have one in my tool bag. There great if a hose breaks to splice in and maybe get you riding again. Or there nice if they have a temp gauge to tell you the bike is running hot. Other then that there useless. If your bike is overheating look somewhere else. There's probably an issue.

blowit Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 heat dissipation is a function of 3 main things, the thermal conductivity of the source material (in this case, Aluminum), the delta T or differential temperature between the material (very close to coolant temp) and the air around it, and the surface area. In short, we ran some numbers for a guy some time about and I believe they moved something like 10Watts of dissipation. Given that a tuned up Banshee could need to dissipate around 80-90HP of heat and 10W is .013HP, I have to say they are a total waste of hose clamps! On a side note, this is why engines don't cool as well in hotter weather. Warmer air around the exchanger means less btus or watts they can dissipate.

RagunCajun Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 which inline temp gauge are you guys running? I wouldnt mind having to get off my bike to see the temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the TTO or KOSO units. Digital display that mounts anywhere you want and run for a whole year off a watch battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayzx10r Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I'm on year 3 with mine and it's been a worthy investment, IMHO. No issues, haven't even had to change the battery yet.
