When is it to warm to ride ?

[Jaystre]

i have a o1 shee and was wondering if it ever gets to warm to ride like 30 degrees celcius ambient air temp . can it hurt my engine or just rejet ?

Don't be a pussy, it's never too hot to ride!

 

What is that in fahrenheit?

[locogato11283]

no, that is not too hot to ride. it is important to watch your coolant level though and make sure it doesnt start spitting it out. if it does, that means the motor is getting hot and you should let it cool off for a while.

 

higher temps mean lower jet sizes.

If it does start spitting coolant, don't shut if off. Let it sit and idle so it continues to pump the coolant thru your motor for a bit. Then shut it down to cool off.

86 degress F. It should be fine. That's nowhere near too hot to ride.

i pretty much call it to hot to ride when i down 5 powerade's after riding for 15 minutes and my shirt is stuck to me and i smell like a wendy's bathroom after sandfest..

 

also when the heat off the sand melts your shoe's and your nuts are so greassy you cannot even stay on the seat. thats a lil on the hot side of things...

This is a dumb question, I live in what my profile says, But somthing I don't get, There is a reserve coolant bottle attached to your airbox and a hose that just lets coolant spit out all over when its hot, I started to get annoyed by it dripping on my exhaust so I put a knot in that hose and now the over pressure coolant instead of being wasted goes to the reserve coolant bottle just like cars, What the fuck is the point of that hose that waste coolant like that? I'd rather it back flow into the reserve bottle instead of dripping and steaming on my exhaust where I get to breath in them nice toxic sweet vapors.

We ride when it is 110+ out side. Hottest day we rode last year was 117 in the sun, 113 in the shade, WAS FUCKING HOTT!! Saw 130 in my truck last year sitting in a pipe yard. Even he was asking for water.
