Operating Temp ?

[AUSSIE BANSHEE]

Hi Guys,

 

What is a normal coolant temperature for my shee. I have just fitted a Trail Tech Vapor and i want to know what is normal and when i should shut it down. No major mods just pipes, reeds and jetting. Standard timing.

I run a lil billet digital temp gauge up on my bars and when it gets up too about 93C or 200F i let it idle down some then shut it down and have a wobbily pop and a sandwich. Only ever gets that hot when its really hot out and im going slow in the woods and not much cool air is going through the rad.

 

It usually sits around 66-77C or 150-170F while ripping along.

I have mr gasket rad cap temp gauge on mine with same basic mods. It tends to run at about 180 190.

It all depends on where you mounted the temp sensor. Mine is mounted in the radiator hose right in front of the head. That way you get the hotest reading possible.

 

Savage has his mounted in the lower radiator hose. So the temp he is reading is after the radiator has cooled the coolant. He might be reading 200 on his gauge but the coolant coming out of the head might be 220 deg.

 

With that being said I shut mine down at 225 deg or so. Letting it idle with the radiator pointed into the wind drops temps pretty quicky too.

160-180 ON MINE, You should shut it down or try to cool it off at 210.
