Banshee question

[crazy13]

I always wanted to know do banshees need to have a cool down point because they are 2 stroke? is that true

As long as you keep air flowing through the radiator they will stay cool

[Jereme6655]

Well....they ARE liquid cooled.....but they are not assisted by a fan. so as long as your tuned correctly and you keep moving (ie keeping air flowing through the radiator like rob said) then you should be totally fine. However if you just let it sit there and idle it WILL actually raise the temperature to a dangerous point if ideling way too long. The banshees need the air-flow to stay in operating temps.

Oh ok i have a raptor 660 and i kno i has a fan in it. my brother has a 400ex and it doesnt have te fan so i guess it is air cooled like a banshee? i was gonna get a banshee then some one told me they needed to be cooled down and you couldnt ride them as long as a 2 stroke so i got the 4 stroke. ( always wanted the 2 stroke power lol)

Yea that happens with my raptor when i let it sit and runing it will overheat.

no a banshee is not air cooled. it is liquid cooled just doesn't have a fan to help keep cool.

 

a 400ex is air cooled . no coolant no radatitor

 

a raptor is the same as a banshee just with a fan to help cool it down, because they figure if you own a four stroke you will be going to slow to move enuogh air though the rad to keep it cool so they added a fan.lol

400exs are oil cooled (thats what honda calls it)and banshees are not air cooled there liquid cooled

[Jereme6655]

hey crazy....are you sure your fans working correctly? because your raptor should not be overheating because the liquid-cooled fan assistance should be enough to keep it at a decent temp at idle

it only happend once i think i was sitting there for about 5 minutes or so because some one i was riding with 4 wheeler broke down so i sat there leting it run.
