Re: my bike, its running too hot
well today I flushed most of the system out and just put water in it because I don't want to keep wasting and polluting the ground with antifreez. It seemed to help out temps were 220is to 235 and once I hit 240 when the display starts to blink indicating the bike is running too hot. I also changed a hose out that I noticed had a little hole in it.. what are average temps for these bikes.. bangs head

i know there can be negatives but if he did that and it ran normal he'd know it was air seeing he already tested the thermostat

Re: my bike, its running too hot
on some cars i like to drill a little hole in the base of the thermostat , this helps the system bleed when you are filling an empty cooling system ..
it would probably work the same on a bike and its just a 1/4 inch hole so it doesnt really change the restriction effect of the thermostat which even when fully open helps keep the coolant in the radiator long enough to cool ..
taking a thermostat out completely can cause some bikes to over heat because the coolant is traveling too fast to do it's job ..
