TPhillips Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 I am trying to figure out a good temperature range for my banshee. It usually won't go past 140 degrees or so, but if I am playing in the soft sand it has gotten up to 150-160 before. I have a cool head and run engine ice, so I thought I would see what temps you guys are running at. Oh yeah, had any one ever put an inline cooler on after putting a temp guage on your bike? Did it make a difference? Quote
superchicken Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 mine stays dead on 180.unless i put around a bit and it jumps up to around 190 200,but cools back down once i start moving Quote
99Red_Roostr Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 Mine never gets over 130 f , no matter what. I even block the rad 100% in winter (0 f outside) . 99rr Quote
bigboybanshee Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 (edited) Mine runs between 170-200 respectively...but that was before I changed my coolant to engine ice, ran an inline cooler, and put my noss head on. I'm guessing it'll probably run in the 140-170 range now; I'll tell you for sure after this weekend I love my temp guage. Real easy mod and cheap too. Let's you know when it's time to take a break for a minute, etc... Edited September 30, 2004 by bigboybanshee Quote
TPhillips Posted October 1, 2004 Author Report Posted October 1, 2004 I would definatly recommend everyone to put a gauge on their bike. Just make sure the tip of the gauge is all the way down into the T fitting for an accurate reading. I didn't have mine set up quite like that when I did it the first time and it did not read accuratly. My bike over heated once and only read 160 degrees. I don't know what temp the engine ice boils at, but mine was boiling. Now I have it in correctly and should know some better readings next month when we head to the sand. Quote
Wallrat Posted October 1, 2004 Report Posted October 1, 2004 170-190* Just shut it down when it gets over 200 and you'll be fine. Quote
rebelbanshee2 Posted October 1, 2004 Report Posted October 1, 2004 160 and thats with a full out stroker, not bad Quote
Klotzban1 Posted October 10, 2004 Report Posted October 10, 2004 (edited) Around home I run 140-180 farting around the field or playing on some tracks. At the dunes I was running in the wide open areas around 160-180 in afternoon heat. When toteing my wife we dropped into whoops and trails for 2 hrs of hard ripping around and the airflow wasnt as great my shee heated up to 200-220....I shut her down for a rest and took her back out to the flats and the temp dropped to 180. Its all good! Edited October 10, 2004 by Klotzban1 Quote

trail rider Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 about what temp. does the coolant start to boil? I dont have a temp gauge. My bro was doin dounuts this one time for like 2 minutes straight at about 2nd-3rd gear and when he stoped the coolant in the overflow was boiling . did it overheat? Quote
