heat issues

[Ian Francisco]

Mr. Bill Watson has researched this very carefully. The Thermo-bob is effective at keeping the bike from running too cool for maximum efficiency. It doesn't make much difference in extremely hot conditions. There are a few things one can do. Running more distilled water and less coolant, oddly. Removing the radiator plastic shroud altogether, and running without a skidplate will gain a few degrees. http://members.cox.net/watt-man/Margin.htm http://members.cox.net/watt-man/TB%20Testing1.htm Here's the schematic for a manual fan switch I mentioned: http://members.cox.net/watt-man/FanOverrideSchematic.JPG -- ian http://www.scarletfuries.com http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Scarlet-Furies/121218125931 Heat issues http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DSN_KLR650/message/202553;_ylc=X3oDMTJyazJlOGI3BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE1BGdycElkAzQ4ODM4NQRncnBzcElkAzE3MDUxMjYyNjIEbXNnSWQDMjAyNTUzBHNlYwNkbXNnBHNsawN2bXNnBHN0aW1lAzEzMTI2MTk5MTQ-> Posted by: "jlarkinjr" jlarkinjr@... jlarkinjr http://profiles.yahoo.com/jlarkinjr> Fri Aug 5, 2011 12:04 pm (PDT) It has been Africa hot in Florida this summer. Seems like the bike is running very hot (but never seems to get the thermometer all the way over to the right) not sure the cooling system is doing enough. Faiirly certain all of the parts are working but would be more comfortable if the bike was running cooler. Any ideas? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
