cooling?

[sanman]

i am trying to figure out cheap ways to keep my banshee from overheating. i have added inline cooler. in the process of putting on another cooler and waterpump propeller. i like to trail ride alot as muck as the sand. does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? thanks.

If your radiator isn't clogged up and your jetting is correct AND it still runs hot with the new impeller, try an aftermarket head. (although that may not fall into the 'cheap' category.

there are spark pugs called BR9ES they supose to run cooler than BR8ES. give that a try.

 

dont have a clue how it will affect performance though

A simple aid for cooling is to fill in the gap from the radiator to the shroud with some wheather stripping type foam so all the air must pass through the rad and not just pass around it. every little bit helps

If you posted in the right section you might get more responses but anyway..... Like dlnoss said if your jetted correct and whatnot it shouldn't overheat but if it does pick you up some engine ice. If that don't do the trick snag you an aftermarket head (I heard this guy on the forum called makes a good aftermarket head )

move your coolant res. tank to the front and get engine ice... pretty cheap way of helping.

The foam around the radiator is a great mod.

Then engine ice.

Then new head

you could just quite screwing around and get a toomey rad yeah they are expensive but the work very well

I was in a hardware shop, got some small hoses, nozzles, a reservoir, and a $10 water pump. Set up a radiator sprayer that works great, and only cost like $30. I have to reach down and turn on the pump and it sprays the raddy, steams everywhere, and runs significantly cooler. Thinking about mounting a button on the handlebars but it's good for now.
