2005 yfz450 converted banshee

[thomas h.]

Photobucket stopped working so ill get tap talk 2.0 to upload I guess.

 

Leaving for glamis today. This should be the last test ride to work out bugs.

 

I had adaptors made to go between the carbs and air box. So I hope this will not over heat.

 

Thanks to all who hooked up deals along the way.

Well 235* doesn't boil over but also will not come down in temp. No front plastic with double row oversized radiator and water wetter. The Eletric fan test well but didn't work out there.

So I did rev it with the cap off and noticed the level goes from full then drops down 2" inches then full at idle. Need in put on next step

[thomas h.]

Got my seat fixed. Didn't have the heart to tell the guy that the first one he made was crap.

Working on radiator plumbing and going to convert to serpentine flow.

[trickedcarbine]

Serpentine flow?

[thomas h.]

Yup. The inlets are on the same side and there is a divider between them. That make the water go by twice. The core is two row and I'm adding a top shroud to the radiator to ram more air in to radiator. Should be testing in glamis next sat with 95* weather.

Isn't that referred to as split row or dual pass? No biggie, hope it works for ya.

Your shroud has to get melted with the pipe right there? Don't know if you said it earlier but what coolant are you running. I have had significant cooler temps running engine ice in my 450 and banshee.

I run W wetter or water. And I really have not got the ride it longer than 15m at a time.

 

I hope next week I get to run it.

I guess it only does pass twice so... Dual pass works too

[thomas h.]

The conversion is really happy up and down the block. Temps at 145-150.

 

Completed mods - dual pass hd radiator - 2.0 bar cap - remote fill tube on the head bubble line - above radiator shroud.

 

and rejeted with dyno needle. I picked that style cause the pilot is 32.5 and the current main is 350.

 

I hope to report a successful 100* glamis dune trip.

 

Going tomorrow and camping at road runner or key hole.

That is a y tee and I used a flat tee to fit under acerbis side platic

[thomas h.]

Going to convert to e85 so I don't need the eletric fan.

 

Took it to huckfest 2013 and it ran ok but over heated.
