Vincip92 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) So it was the first time actually riding my banshee since I had bought it and I had been riding for about 3 1/2 hours with 5-10min breaks here and there and at the end of the day me and a friend started messing around doing some races after the second race did a couple donuts then headed back to my truck to put it away and it just started pouring steam out of the release tube any ideas why it might have happened a few of my friends have had banshees for years and not one of them has ever had that happened Edited November 12, 2014 by Vincip92 Quote
oh3shee Posted November 13, 2014 Report Posted November 13, 2014 What kind of coolant are you using? Is there a hole in a line for it to leak out as you were riding? Quote
Bennett131 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Posted November 13, 2014 It could be a lot of things, that being said if it is new to you I would completely go over the bike. Do a leak down test, check jetting exc. exc. Quote
O/CbansheeRider Posted November 13, 2014 Report Posted November 13, 2014 Probably head gasket. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Bennett131 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Posted November 13, 2014 I hope he would know if he were burning coolant. Quote
Vincip92 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Report Posted November 13, 2014 did a leakdown test theres a hole in the back of the radiator buddy of mine is gonna give me his stock one to replace it Quote
trickedcarbine Posted November 14, 2014 Report Posted November 14, 2014 If you did a leak down and it pressurized the radiator, you have another problem. Quote
O/CbansheeRider Posted November 14, 2014 Report Posted November 14, 2014 My head gasket was bad. Bike ran great only symptom was some drips on exhaust After shutdown.

Vincip92 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Posted November 17, 2014 If you did a leak down and it pressurized the radiator, you have another proble I was in a rush when I made that last post I did the leakdown test everything was fine ran it and found a pinhole in the back of the radiator Quote
camatv Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 i think he means he pressure tested the cooling system. not motor leakdown test Quote
