Hi every body.my name is mike.......i just bought a 02 banshee, ihave had 4 stroke quads in the past 400 ex, suzuki 400 2003, but man i rode this thing today for the first time, this thing is unbeiliveable, the power way more the the 400 four strokes. my buddies just bought the suzuki 400's for like 6k and i smoked them on this thing no problem..........but i do have a few question......i got the bike and toke it for a good half hour just to see what kinks needed to be worked, everything was cool but i noticed a small amount of collant coming out of the over flow hose, so i brought it home did all maintance, cleaned plugs, changed oil,new brake fluid,cleaned filter, tighened all lose bolts, and flused the coolling system very well and the coolant looked good no gas or oil spotted, even bent back the foils in the radiator that where bent to increase the air flow to the radiator. but other than the small amount of coolant loss everything was good.
went out today for about 4 hours and the coolant was still leaking out of the overflow hose after every good long ride i toke, on the shorter rides it wasnt leaking, Im think the springs in the radiator cap might have weakend and give under less pressure allowing the coolant to over flow easier????. After about of 4 hours riding i lost about 10oz of coolant, i hope its just the cap but i f any one has ne tips for me that would be great
