Im in the same boat, shouldnt do this that quickly. You prolly blew your head gasket, check your impeller to see if it is moving with the kickstarter. If so, check out your head gasket.

What mods have you allready done? This is normal to a mildly moded shee, in hot conditions. Mine did it in 90+ degree weather and I added a nossmachine coolhead and engine ice and hasent came close to overheating again!

Is it really hot, or are you just saying the fluid is spewing? Mine did that from day one (when the bike was stock) and continued doing that until I just lowered the fill level in the overflow bottle. It hasn't done it in years and the motor is also built now and I ride hard in Glamis heat all the time.

check your impellar, mine was doing the same thing for a little while and then the top end let go. the blades melted off the stock impellar and caused the pistons to melt.

where is the best place to get a after market impeller at

I have an 05 Banshee with 8 hours on it. I have also noticed some coolant

drips at the overflow tube. Drips on exhaust pipe and a-arms. Only seems to do it after riding it for a while. Wont do it on short rides.
