hey guys what ur running temps?

 

i'm hitting easily 90 degrees when i'm waiting at the traffic light with cars around me in about 3 mins. *HELP* is anything the matter?

 

When i'm moving my temps are around 72 - 78 thereabouts depending on speed.

When i parked the bike, coolant spewed out onto the exhaust and sizzled.

 

 

 

Coolant came out from WHERE??!

 

Out from your exhaust nozzle?

spewed out from the radiator, probably some cap thingy if i remember correctly. and dripped onto the exhaust (the head part) not the behind.

the other day during fireworks, heavy jam at city hall my temp went up to 100 and flashed for 4 secs before going back to 99. When i parked the bike, coolant spewed out onto the exhaust and sizzled.

wha...time flies veri fast hor

i remember when u first posted here u havent even bought ur tuono...

 

anyway my running temps are same as urs, its quite normal

but waiting at traffic lights n geting 90degrees is not a good idea

 

are u still using the standard (50% antifreeze) coolant? I suggest u go flush that out n replace with 100& distilled water with a few capfuls of water-wetter, coz antifreeze is a horrible conductor of heat n we dun freeze here

 

I am also gonna do that when i can get my hands on a bottle of waterwetter

If you are looking for someone to share the water-wetter with, remember to count me in, i always like to share things one, hehe

 

My frens who go jb on regular basis switch off the engines n manually push in the traffic jam, otherwise will overheat

 

For your case, shd be no damage la, just top up some water to make up for those which spilled out can liao

Messiah: Where's this FJT located at? Thanks~

 

Eyez: Resin is teh savior to all my bike problems lor! sticks everything one hor! maybe i can build a bike from resin next time, but anyway, the powervalve experiment failed...hahaha

But serious la, i haf a lot of metal resin left, if u guys haf leaking radiators can come look for me

 

To lacri the rest: How about cleaning up the headlights this weekend? I will go buy a BIG TUBE of those silicone sealers this week n share wif u guys, no need to pay, just kopi can liao I hav a big can of autosol too!

yah yah... heard this from Derrick RS250 rider that his temp run below

50C.. he said he was using some anti freeze thingy and it was

in dunno which section that we here in singapore shouldn't be using

this.. best is distill water and waterwetter is recommended... sometimes

our engine oil can only perform at its optimal when it's at certain temp..

 

for my case.. i usually have less than 65C during night ride and less

than 75C for day ride... jam ah... not very sure.. i'm seldom stuck in a

jam..

 

fibre: remember must seal the headlight cover properly... if get water

gets in.. more problem...

 

one reason why RS overheat so easily... i think it's becos of the milo

pipe...

 

Messiah, do you experience low operating temp of your bike when you

tried it with you RS pipe?

[lacrimosae]

Antifreeze is crap. You need a good conductor of heat for your coolant, so that heat can be transferred effectively from your engine to your coolant, and then dissipated to the air through the radiator.

Antifreeze is a poor conductor of heat so that heat remains in the engine.

 

I'm getting myself a bottle of Waterwetter this week. Am sharing with

1) Greydium

 

Not sure 1 bottle can share with how many pple. But if interested just put your name in.

 

My temp max out at 74 in jams or long stationary stops. When bike is moving temp is 55 on a cool night and 68 on a warm day.

 

So far only hit 89 just once. Stuck in a long jam, very hot day...

 

fibre, silicon sealant have to wait how long before it completely dries?

[bktan]

lacri: count me in for water wetter too then. u guys going where to flush coolant?

[Cow]

guys wonder is my signature pic abit too big? cause i don really know wats the limits i can put so if the pic is a bit too big and not allowed , tell me i go remove

[bktan]

hmm from u guys temps, it seems there's something wrong with my bike then *HELP*

at all traffic lights i most certainly get 80 degrees - 85 but given a short 200m run, the temp will just drop all the way to 73 - 75 deg.

 

what u guys reckon man? but the bike has been doing this ever since i got it new though.

Waterwetter is really good stuff.. shld try.. It'll really cools down the engine a lot.. Reviews so far are good..

I'm Interested....How much 1 bottle cost? Can last how long?

[bktan]

1 bottle is $25 at motoX for 1 litre bottle

 

checking out the x9 thread, their coolant is also 1 litre like ours. according to it, 1 litre can make up for 8 of our aprilia ponies.

 

so any takers? Lacri u wanna set up a time?

Messiah, do you experience low operating temp of your bike when you

tried it with you RS pipe?

i serice the value change lousy cooland already, but unit now the temp riding at nigh sure under 60 roughly at 54, if chiong 50-49. afternoon 59-65. basement carpark will be sh*t, 69-80 shoot up baby. Those one time i round in the basement carpark reach 88-90 i stop it and go for a drink. two stroke never stay in basement for too long with your engine start........
