Jereme6655 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Uh......your water pump is located in your clutch cover.....so coolant flows through it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True....However, the clutch is right behind the clutch cover. And it functions entirely on friction and creates a shit ton of heat. Especially if your drag racing, or doing any type of activity that may require so clutch slip. SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Haha ya I know the clutch creates frictional heat......but the OP said its hot enough that he can't touch it with his hand.....I didn think the clutch was capable to produce that much heat and still function as a clutch....

KozyHeat Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Which part of the cover WAS too hot to touch? I checked mine after going big blasting around town. The top part of the cover was hot. the lower was cool. I have my water pump cover off too - so felt the cover - it was fairly hot, radiator was fairly hot. I get bubbles in my radiator when I start my banshee so Im pretty sure my pumps working. Any reason I should replace my pump set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general shee Posted December 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 my was to hot all over because of a broken water pump gear yours sounds like everything is working properly i installed the mull pump and gear and now after ripping through all gears on the street for 20 mins then a 40 min hard ride through the trails pulled over and while it was still running i put my hand on the cluch cover on the top and it was warm but not hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dispicablemee Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 can someone explain how there can be engine oil in motor on 2stroke? the trans yes but they are separated chambers. ps im new to 2 strokes aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general shee Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 the 2 stroke oil you mix in the gas is what lubes the crank + cylinders. then you have the transmission oil which is seperated from the crank and cylinders i use yamalube 10-40 better for clutches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
