Overheating ????

<< < (2/2)

Kawadougie:
I have found that my bike will overheat when I use the thinner head gasket that comes with the Cometic gasket kit.  The stock head gasket is about twice as thick as that one.  I've just ordered the optional 1.6 pressure cap pt:49085-1073. Stock is 49085-1070 rated at 1.1.

I purged the system and even with beat to hell radiators the thing is running cool. Turns out I just did not have enough water in the system

Johnniespeed:
That is good news !   Have fun riding, I am going to snowblow my driveway. ( note scarcastic tone due to location envy )

afritts4u:
KX500 could may make a good snow blower? Of course I dont know about blowing snow, just warm sand and dirt blowing behing my rear wheel all year long. LOL Then again I have to sit in traffic for 2 hourse to get home to my $ 1 million cardboard box in the creek, so I may never make it home to ride.

KXcam22:
Yeah. Lots of +/- tradeoffs wherever you live. Take it from me, the KX roosts snow quite nicely. Cam.
