sheeintoxicated Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 hey guys, I am interrested in the 2in1 filter but where does the overflow bottle go for the coolant. when you take out the stock air box thanks maria Quote
sandgrencivic2k1 Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 They make a relocator bracket you can buy from rocky mountain. HOwever I just did away with mine because it is an overflow, and it doesnt suck it back it when cold. So whats the point in having it? On all dirtbikes they don't have them so why put one on the shee. I would just rip it off and run the hose down the frame so if it bubbles out a little it goes onto the ground. Quote
sheeintoxicated Posted August 12, 2004 Author Report Posted August 12, 2004 (edited) sounds good thanks for the info makes sence...but one hose from the radiator have it come down what about the hose that is on the back of the engine where does it go.. Edited August 12, 2004 by bansheegirl03 Quote
sandgrencivic2k1 Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 I can't picture what exactly you are talking about with the second hose. The only hose I can think of is on top of the head and it goes to the radiator. I only remember one hose going to bottle from the radiator, then the other just siphons down to the ground so that if the over flow overflowed it would go onto the ground. Hope it helps. Quote
sandgrencivic2k1 Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 i took a look at your profile, what mods do you have? And when are we goin to get to see a pic of the shee? Quote
sheeintoxicated Posted August 12, 2004 Author Report Posted August 12, 2004 (edited) Ok thier are 2 hose's that go on the overflow bottle one hose looks like it goes on the side cover by the water pump and they come together and than go to the top of the radaitor.my question is what sould i do with the one that comes from the side by the water pump hopefully this make sense.ps soon i will have pics. and i have t-5 exhauste,pro design head bigger jets,few more things as well thanks maria Edited August 12, 2004 by bansheegirl03 Quote
sandgrencivic2k1 Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 I am not really sure what to do wit that hose, I didn't have that hose. I will double check my bike when I go home, but i just remember having to cut the one hose. Quote
orion6781 Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 If you know that you are not going to use your airbox anymore then you can just cut down the airbox to where it is just a holder for the overflow bottle. and its free. Quote
sandgrencivic2k1 Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 ok, well I checked my shee over. The hose that comes from the water pump goes into a little tee that comes up from the back of the transmission and then goes up to the radiator, at least that is how mine is set up. I hope you understand it. If you have more questions let me know and I would be more than happy to help. Quote
Holyman Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 You children don't have a clue. If you have a line running from your water pump to the coolant bottle, it's hooked up wrong. There is a line that runs from the radiator to the BOTTOM of the coolant bottle. The other line FROM the coolant bottle goes over the frame by the pipe. If you want to run the 2:1 filter {I do and I think it's the best filter out there} remove the entire air box and sell it, it will help you pay for the 2:1 filter. Move the coolant bottle to the front behind the bumper {if you are going to keep it} and attach it with a couple zip ties. The fact is, the coolant DOES get pulled back into the radiator from the coolant bottle and a 2.5 second long look at the radiator cap will prove that. Alot of guys throw away the bottle. I kept it because I figure it's there to catch the coolant and there's no reason to let it spill on the ground. Here's a pic of mine. Quote
ledofthezep Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 Or you can just leave the stock overflow rezzie where it's currently mounted...like on mine, I run a toomey 2:1 also...no problems....I just re-routed my lines so my overflow drops on the ground behind the motor & in front of the swingarm. Quote
sandgrencivic2k1 Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 I dont feel that the bottle is worth keeping. Because if you look at all motocross bikes they don't have one because they are basically useless. The radiator is small enough that it cools decently and since I have taken mine off I double check the coolant once in awhile and it is always plum full. I run in the sand a lot too, just went last weekend when it was 98, and still no problems. So why use it. Quote
ledofthezep Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 So why use it. So why not use it? I don't loose any fluid either,...it recycles itself now...if it overflows out of the rezzie, it goes on the ground. You don't have to have one,...but it's there & ya may as well use it. Just MHO. Quote
sandgrencivic2k1 Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 my only thing is when you remove the airbox, and you have to relocate it, to me its not worth the trouble of mounting it somewhere else. Quote
ledofthezep Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 You don't have to relocate it at all. I have no airbox...look at the pic of my shee, ressie is still in the same place as stock. Whatever floats your boat... Quote
