how to fix 636 heat issues?!
So had the tabs on my radiator welded the other day and flushed the rad put in water wetter and coolant. got the fan goin all the time(coolant temp sensor unhooked). What else do i need to do to make this thing stop overheating? I live in FLA and its not even smoldering summer yet and it was overflowing during our show this weekend! Any help is appreciated.

Re: how to fix 636 heat issues?!
when you are lets say doing a big long *** burn out the temp goes up and the coolant expands and is force out of the radiator into the over flow then once you stop doing a burn out the temp goes back down and the coolant that was forced into the over flow is returned to the radiator ..
if the coolant that was displaced from the burn out can't be retreived then your radiator will no longer be full and will not be able to properly cool the bike...

it will cause it to over heat because the radiator is just big enough to keep the bike cool when it is full ..

Sadim and Zacky Chan had problems with theirs.. Actually sadims still does I think.. Chan I think he fixed his by replacing the thermostat.. Sadim switched that and still has problems..

Just had a buddy's that had that overheating problem . Everything checked out good. Turned out the head gasket was slightly blown out and the head was warped from the overheating. I got him a headgasket and he took the head to the machine shop and its good to go now.
