no i have a trailtech fitted to my bike so i watch the temperature and keep it under 100 degrees but the temp only stays down if i ride the bike slow and stay off the revs........but when the temp was down to about 80 degrees i was trying to see how fast i could get it i tryed 3 times over the day of riding and the max speed i could get it up to was 109km

i run 32:1 ....i think its 95 or 98 octane premium

wat do you mean by that??

i have had all that checked and it is all running fine

i have not notcied it pick up if i back off ....um the tire size is stock i havnt touched them since i bought it new.....also i know the boys at my local motorbike shop lifted my needle up 1 clip

at sea level

i have a 2008 banshee fmf fattys 280 main jets stock airbox and uni filter with custom lid boost bottle running engine ice coolant i have 2 problems with it, it overheats very quickly doesnt have blown head gasket or any leaks anywhere ?? and other thing top end speed i can only get a max of 109km out of it?? any advice would be great thanks

just wondering how would you solve a overheating problem??? thanks

im gunna take it for another ride during the week and see where i go from there.........and thanks for helping me out heaps it has been muchly appreciated

i took the plugs out and held a paper towel no fluid is spitting out and smoke is blue

it doesnt appear to have white smoke...i will try empty the overflow bottle and see if radiator goes down.....i am riding up in dunes most of the time

i checked and they safe from the exhaust pretty sure the lines arnt crossed since i havnt touched them and it was running normal for a long time before this.....do you have to drain the oil out off the crank case to find out or can you just use the dipstik???? because i used the dipstick and there was no sign of fluid in there...and there is no puddles of fluid it is just vanishing

twice i have rode the bike but when i noticed the overflow bottle was empty i stopped the radiator was still full both times but i didnt want to keep riding just incase.....the over flow line runs down into the engine bay then goes up to the radiator?????....would jetting have anything to do with this cause it was running fine before i changed jets????

i checked the lines are not crossed ...but last night when the bike was cooled right down i toped the over flow bottle back up again to the full line and this morningwhen i checked it has gone back down half way again without the bike being hot or running at all...would that mean there would have to be a leak in the over flow bottle or a line or something???

no the radiator cap was on when it was cooling, i no the temp because i have a trailtech fitted to the bike......i cannot see any fluid coming out anywhere i went through and checked hoses and clamps nothin appears to be damaged or leaking and it only spits a tiny bit when reving with the radiator cap off when it is idling it doesnt spit anything you can just see the water spinning around .......if it was overheating could it have something to do with the jetting cause currently i have been in the process of trying to get the jetting right because if it is running to lean that would cause it to be overheating??? but when i was riding and it lost all its fluid the temp said it only got up to 130degrees thanks
