lms1977 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Ok here is my question my stock one is still in there, and I would like to upgrade.. I would like to go with a chariot ultra flow or mull I knot they are both good, the mull looks closer to stock and the chariot looks bigger and all cavities are closed by the shaft where the mull is open like the stock one I would assume the mull would produce less drag? But would it still flow the same? My cooling system is all stock and gets hotter than I want we are not going fast alot of time but are really working the engines on the hills. So I want to get a new impeller and oversized radiator and possibly a billet "water pump" gear from mull What are your thoughts ? I did search and did not find out as much as I would like thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad one ton Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Try that engine ice antifreeze stuff. It works well. A little pricey but good stuff! That will help with it getting too hot. TON! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Is it getting hot because of a lack of coolant flow or is it a lack of airflow over the radiator. In the dunes when doing treeshots, my bike gets hot due to a lack of airflow and a quick, speedy run across open sand cools it down. I also run WaterWetter, similar or same idea as Engine Ice. The Mull impeller is supposed to be engineered to prevent cavitation and their stuff has a pretty good reputation. Also, do you KNOW how hot it is actually getting? When I put my Trail Tech on, I was pleasantly surprised that the actual temperature when riding was not as hot as I thought it would be- actual temp was about 175-185 when moving.

I think it mostly due to lack if airflow. But I figure I should do the pump and radiator if they will help a little? If I'm cruising it don't seem to get to hot but going slow and it hillclimbs it gets hot and will sometimes puke coolant out the overflow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Cal Banshee Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Pump is good idea, gets rid of stock plastic pump that will eventually break. Same with gear for pump. I have both products from Mull on mine, good piece of mind and excellent quality/price. Aftermarket radiator wouldn't hurt either, stock is good enough as long as you have good airflow, but extra coolant takes longer to get hot. Just get cheapest one (radiator), they all come from same place (China), just different distributors. Have one of those too, looks nice and shiny and more coolant! Haven't had any problems with any of those products.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns4children Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 chariot get my vote. They have VERY good sevice thats why i say pick them. when i orderd mine they sent me a timing plate instead. i sent them an email and they told me to just keep the plate to make up for the down time they caused me and they would send me my impeller. FREAKING NICE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrockMoto Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hard to go wrong with either, but Mull has a billet gear too... which is nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Billet impeller wont do any good if theres no air flow through the radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
