MILO Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 if your not overheating, and have a good antifreeze/water mix, then truthfully, i think you fit right in. all banshees seem to have this problem. it's kind of a design flaw i suppose. from what i've heard, all 'shees need a little drink now and again cause they like to spit it out the overflow. that's why some guys will relocate the resevoir to the front of the quad. i guess that helps it somehow.

Holyman Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 I agree. Check the level in the Radiator and don't worry so much about the bottle. I moved my bottle and haven't filled it in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmyforte Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 can you put jsut the antifreeze in or do you have to mix it ive been telling my dad i have to put water in andand i have the same thing were you have to refill a good amount its normal unless you buy premixed yes you have to mix it. i mix 60% water 40% antifreeze. if you never get below 32 in the winter i would never use antifreeze just water.

lian Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 ahh sorry i screwed up i menat you have to mix the antifreeze with a bit of water didnt mean just water. he say just to put antifreeze in by itself but i read you do a 50-50 mix but would antifreeze by itself be worse or better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoin39 Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Worse,it will overheat. I use ENGINE ICE, never have a problem but reg. coolant is good but mix it with distilled water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webbug Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 I used to have the same problem with my bike was stock. With a little mods (tommey, k&n), the bottle stays as is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
