ZIGGYBAM Posted October 31, 2018 Report Posted October 31, 2018 So i have a 4mm stroker motor with open air filters....i ended up taking off my reservoir tank and running/ziptieing the overflow lines down the frame...i was told to just remove the tank by a few people that have the same setup as i do...is this ok or do i NEED the overflow tank...i only ask because a couple nights ago i started it after i removed the tank and noticed a little water leaking out if the tube...hasnt happened since then...just wanna make sure its not gonna overheat without a reservoir...i dont really ride super hard with it...i was thinking of getting a billet overflow tank but theres not much extra room to install it, so id rather just not have one...just seeing what some of u guys do. thanx Quote
camp0429 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Posted October 31, 2018 It will be fine without the tank. Once the level in the radiator gets where it needs to be you shouldn't get any leaks out of the tube unless it gets hot or you have a problem. Quote
ClaudeMachining Posted October 31, 2018 Report Posted October 31, 2018 Point the overflow tube toward the pipes, if it leak, it will smell and you'll notice it.Envoyé de mon SM-G965W en utilisant Tapatalk Quote
kawa110 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Posted October 31, 2018 You spray your overflow on those nice ass LED pipes..... Quote

It should stop though once it levels off like said above ^ just keep your eye on the level. But if you ride it, and it sprays like a mother, your cooling system is getting pressurized by the motor via leaking dome o ring, if its not doing that though then dont sweat it just ride Edited October 31, 2018 by Ayesully810 Quote
ZIGGYBAM Posted November 1, 2018 Author Report Posted November 1, 2018 Thank you...i read here about people removing them too...i just got nervous since i started it the first time with the reservoir removed and some water leaked out....but it hasnt done it since and like i said i dont ride super super hard...some trails, pits, and a few hill climbs here and there....

locogato11283 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Posted November 1, 2018 You don't need it. They look awesome in the trash can. Quote
87sheerips Posted November 2, 2018 Report Posted November 2, 2018 I have been thinking about putting mine back on. Shit does get hot in the summer and it will lose a little coolant. Quote
