#114098 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1116 Re:How do you know it is overheating? 3 Months ago   Welcome to the clinic, like everyone is saying, you would actually have to try to get one to over heat, damn hard to do. Unless something is wrong with it. How is it acting?   Logged     2.5MM Float Assy 170 Main Jet 3rd clip on the needle 2.5 turns out PMS Proud Member of Patriot Guard Riders Hirams Riders M C   The administrator has disabled public write access. #114103 IMTopGun1 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 688 Re:How do you know it is overheating? 3 Months ago   The best way to check for over heating is to roll up your right pant leg and to hold your ankle against the exhaust pipe for about 3 seconds. If it sizzles, she's too hot. Just checking to see who's awake .....   Logged     2001 Yamahawg Midnight RoadKill Patriot Guard Rider   The administrator has disabled public write access. #114153 TOPNOTCH (User) Git-R-Done Expert Boarder Posts: 443 Re:How do you know it is overheating? 3 Months ago   Was stuck in traffic last Aug in the middle of Baker California in 125 degree heat and she survied. Could not white line because cars were just to close and would not open up for me.   Logged     Christian American Heterosexual Pro-Gun Conservative...Any Questions???

Fresh Boarder Posts: 25 Re:How do you know it is overheating? 3 Months ago   My bike is runing fine. I just wanted to know what symptoms I should look for since there is no temperature gauge. For example when you see the temperature in a car go up you pull over, but since there is no temperature gauge it is hard, or at least hard for me to tell.   Logged     ---- ~Sly 2007 Yamaha Road Star Silverado 1700 2007 Suzuki Burgman 400   The administrator has disabled public write access. #115123 slyguy (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1171 Re:How do you know it is overheating? 3 Months ago   as mentioned, you'll feel a lot of heat coming off of the bike. Your inner thighs will be very warm and your crotch will get toasted too. This will most likely happen only when you are sitting in traffic on hot days. Once she get's under way again, she'll cool down. You could look into a oil temperature guage like pop said if you're really worried about it. I don't think many here are.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #115126 SychoSly (User) Love to Hate You! Fresh Boarder Posts: 25 Re:How do you know it is overheating? 3 Months ago   So it looks like the concensus is not to really worry. Thanks for the help.   Logged     ---- ~Sly 2007 Yamaha Road Star Silverado 1700 2007 Suzuki Burgman 400   The administrator has disabled public write access.
