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

i took the bike for a bit of a ride today got the temperature up to about (105degress)......then i took the radiator cap off the water was spinning around in the radiator no water was spitting out wen i reved it a tiny amount of water was spittin out but i think it was just from the vibration???......then i turned off the engine filled the overflow bottle because it was half way so i put it bak up to full mark on the bottle left the bike for about half and hour came back and the overflow bottle was back down to half and the engine had not even been running after i filled it and the fluid still got away somewhere????

the radiator was full but if i had of kept riding im guessing that would have got empyted to..........i took the radiator cap off the water spins around and it only spits a tlittle bit of water up???

i have a 2008 yamaha banshee tookit for a ride when i left the over flow bottle for the radiator fluid was full after 2 hours of riding it was completly empty and i noticed all green fluid down in the engine bay? ???.....did a pressure test on it and couldnt find any loose hose clamps or anything like that it didnt appear to be leaking anywhere???

because if it was jetted to lean it would be causing it to overheat...is that right?????

took my bike out on the weekend with the 280 jets in it got back my radiator was full but my overflow tank was full when i left and empty after only 2 hours max of riding that would either mean leak in the hose or running to rich am i correct???? thanks Damien

i put in 280 jets did nothing else to it and it seems to be running fine now:)

are those dyno jet kits any good???

i put the 260s in with no airbox lid and just a uni foam filter everything was fine down low first second third gear good as soon as you get into 4th and 5th gear and hav the throttle pinned it will be reving like crazy so you change gears and it "bogs" down??

ok i am running a open airbox now...the pipes did come with 260 main jets...should i put them in?

the air temp is 20-30C ......at sea level.....only other mod on the bike is a boost bottle
