mdhc500 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 You dont have a part # by any chance or a link? I saw them on both of the websites but unfortunately when you have to select your vehicle they don't have a Banshee. I'll porbably just be able to bring my cap down to Vato Zone and get them to match it up though. Thanks man, big help!! Just ask for a Mr. Gasket Thermocap. You want it in Import/Euro "small size" as opposed to domestic, and get the 16 psi, not the 13... 30 bucks at Autozone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vato Zone by me didn't have them, neither did Advance Auto Parts or Pep Boys. I'm going to run the bike as is. I don't think it's running that hot since I syched the carbs and put the air box on. But it does still overflow a little out of the return hose on top. I'm just going to ride it and see what happens, I think I'm being too paranoid about it.

They all stock the Thermocap in domestic only. They can get it for sure... AZ were idiots, they sold/sell the domestic size but told me they dont make an import size...

Any chance you know what kind of car it would fit? On the website there are like 20 different part numbers for the cap. Different pressures and sizes I think. For $25 I just wanna order the right one. Thanks man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fellsyboi Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 have you bled the system correctly? I had the same problems, i undid the 2 bolts that are on the side of the barrels and bled it through there.. make sure you keep the rad topped up whilst doing this...

Matt All you have to do to bleed it is start it with the cap off and Rev it up a little bit.then top it off when it burps. Pulling a bolt out at almost one of the lowest points to bleed it makes no sense to me. As far as the cap goes, you need an import cap or a shitty little domestic car cap. So like a 1991 ford escort or a toypa or busan car. Get the 16lb cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been running it for the past few days, the level in the rad is past the top of the cores, but it still oozes fluid from the top of the return to the rad. Otherwise it's running really good. It doesnt appear to be overheating, although the engine feels hotter then normal. I don't have time now to get one of the caps, every place around here only stocked the bigger size in 13 lbs and 16lbs. I'm thinking that I overfilled the rad and it will work itself out. The bike runs fantastic otherwise and I have checked EVERYTHING out. Thanks again for the help man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
