KYBanshee Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Do ireally need my coolant bottle? Isn't it just an overflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
909 Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 You don't need it. It is a catch can, you overheat and the coolant expands and dumps into the bottle, it cools and sucks it back in. You can ditch it but you have to watch the coolant level inside the radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotulMonsta Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Yup I got rid of mine three years ago and I haven't had any overheating issues...Plus it makes the bike look a lot cleaner..less hoses going here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixitrod Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 I moved mine to the front. I wouldn't ride without it. For most riding you'll be fine. I think BenBB tossed his. He's never had a problem but I noticed at dumont he was checking and fillin a couple time. Just move it up front out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proquad101 Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 I've been racing my banshee for few years without one. I just check my fluids before I go the track and I dont think I have ever been low on radiator fluid. If you want to keep it send blue duece a pm and check out his coolant bottle. He has mounted his in the front of his bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrokeStonedBiker Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 the radiator cant suck up the fluid driectly up if its mounted in the front like that right? its just for and over flow? does it overflow from the top hose and go into the tank or is that hose just a breather hose? because i cut that one and put a couple loops behide the seat and twist tied it too the frame. yeah i might through it in the "bashee parts" box too. removing the excess weight will probably add about 4 hp too. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
