Husky overheating

[mayhem]

Hi guys, Was thinking of getting the husky 125 sm but after talking to a few people, i came to notice that they all highlighted a same point - overheating.

 

I understand that the 125 is a race ready motard so long distance riding (Est. 70km/day) under SG's humid/hot weather might cause the engine to overheat/wear n tear faster and stuff. Can we do anything about it, eg: better coolant or some other kind of improvement? Is this problem common for other motards (MX125, KTM2 etc) as well?

 

Motard riders please shed some light on this. Thanks!

yo bro...

few questions...who these ppl who says huskies overheating?are they huskies owners?

im not a husky hardcore honcho but i juz happen to owned an sm125 so i believe my 2cents worth r based on actual facts that i experienced first hand..not some assumption based on hear say or my mechanic/friend told me this,blah blah,blah ...

i haved owned my bike since 2nd may n currently the mileage is 4900km n up till now,not a single nano problem emerge..zero,ziltch..which surprises me,i expected husky to have some electronic glitches,which is typical of the italians but so far none at all.

so if u do simple maths,its arnd 55km daily n never once did i see the radiator icon even blink...

my baby have be used n abused on the track n in races couple of times n yet it came up strong.oh n i ride to tuas for race/track days n after some hard thrashing,i ride her home n she still feels alright during the ride home(after last weekend race i hve yet to service her) n im riding her on road too as my car is in the workshop,my only gripe is the seat,its narrow n a wee bit hard n this is classic case of ride till backside pain but for track use,its brilliant,easy to slide bum up,down,left,right.but u get use to the seat aft awhile

 

sm125 is awesome,i feel it sud be able to withstand daily road riding,tall n lite,.easy to weave around traffice during jam n enuff power to get in front of traffic n outta of potential harms way.

 

as abt maintainance,regular routine servicing is all u need.any vehicle thats serviced religiously will be in prime state.

 

wear n tear:so far after all those hi-revs,over-revs,redlining,.the only thing i had to change was the tyres,the rest of the internals still sounds good.

i will be doing a piston ring change soon but thats only because i feel a need to after all those thrashing..

 

hope this helps a little

 

 

cheers dude
