I keep my 2019 yz450f running cool by riding it really really fast, it’s proven the more air flow through the radiator the cooler your bike will be.
🤣🤣
thats true and is more important on 450s mostly
Red line water wetter
You're not wrong!! Hahaha love this
I put my dirt bike in mud so the radiator gets clogged with mud and it cools down
my 21 250sxf runs on power aide zero with electrolytes, its got what plants crave!
😂
My bike runs on brondo its got electrolytes
Mine runs off hopes and dreams 💀
Nice reference
These vids are great. Scott explains things very well
Also you can get a radiator cap with a gauge incorporated into it but your bang on what you said they are good tips for people
Really nice advices, thank you. Keep on doing these Videos - you deserve more Subs! Greets from Cologne Germany
Twin air makes screens for the louvers. Prevents roost from sticking and protects the fins from roost damage. One of the best $10 investments you can make for your bike
Where can you get Twin Air screens for $10?
Great info. Thanks, Scott!
Well explained. Thank you
Wow, VitalMX, thank you for this content!
Thank you. That was very useful for me to know.
I have a ktm duke 390. Something u Americans call a beginner bike or girls bike 😂 but I love it and it's my dream machine 😅
A lot of talk for the way I take care of it though. Too afraid to give it to the ktm service centers here in India cuz every time they damage something else b4 I get it back.
These past few months have been a surprise for my city regarding heat. Insanely hot! Mine is a 2016 machine and has never overheated.
I wonder if engine oil burns away. I'm sure it does. I'll top it up just a bit today b4 riding to work.
I love your knowledge of your machine.
Thank you.
There are actually coolant bleed screws on the ktm 2 strokes located on the top back of the cylinder head
Great info sir. Thx👍🏼
informative vid Scott cheers mate!
Solid advice, good video
So much useful information here
Run lower ratio of coolant to water say 70/30 with a wetting agent like water wetter.
What is the normal operating range on a 4 stroke
Nice Dunlop tire's also , what is the name of that bike , i also like the Orange , and white color's to 👍
Do you think its a wise idea to do a thermostat delete? The crf450r doesn't have them but yet my crf450l has one is this only for emissions or what?
What about heat bypass hoses ?
Sorry just watched the rest of video he knows the score the lad 😎
cool clip 🤙
I got a 19 kx450 I run a 1.8 cap, silicone hoses, boyesen water pump, star cool and pro circuit catch can.
May i ask you where have you positioned the catch can?
what brand 1.8 cap did you buy ? i have a 2021 kx 450
@@alessandrogallo7969 I ended up
Taking it off and putting a fan on. There was no good spot really
@@Catman1987 tusk but a guy can buy the kx65 cap it’s a 1.8 too
Will the green super coolant work the same for my 2009 KTM 450. !
hi great video
i have 2022 beta 300 rr
the fan working
i replaced cap to 2.2 bar
and i still overheating
any ideas to check?
i ride enduro but not different from my friend.
so i didnt find the problem
my bike is only 50 hours
thanks
Great advice 👍
nice video 🤙
Does it work on cruiser bikes? I want to buy a hyosung which is known for heating while driving in the city . Would this help in preventing the bike from heating up ?
Nice 2 stroke
Hello I have a technical question if you or anyone can answer please that really knows. I Have a WR450 with
a 1.1 bar cap 16psi.. It never overheats and always stays under 180..if I put a 1.8 bar 26psi cap will thar cause undo steess to hoses or gaskets??
I know water boils at 225 with a 1.1 so if it stays nowhere near there any cap over 1.1 should be fine is that right?
05 ktm 400 exc raceing bike just started overheating on long ride home now water pump not pushing i got new hoses cap may be bad have to still put hoses on im gonna rebuild pump an clutch plates idk what to do ktm dealership gouges me need help please no good mechanics around me
Great video, thank you very much 👍🏻
Is the radiator cap for a 2004 CRF250R a small or big head cap? Also can you recommend a aftermarket cap with a temp-gauge built in?
Thank you 🏍💨💨💨💨💨🏁
Tusk cap through rock mountain atv
Nice bike
1/2" grooves in my basket lol
My bike doesn’t have a radiator idk whats wrong with it
For a KTM TPI bike what temperature should you set your fan to turn on at?
I've got a 400 EXC with Trail Tech fan set to 82c or 180f works great, Except somedays i notice it will drain my battery almost dead on hot days.
How do I keep my mini bike cool
I have a 2021 690 enduro and this thing just runs f-in HOT. Commonly runs 108c/230f. I have done everything I can think of to get it to run cooler with no luck. Seems really stupid to run the exhaust right under the radiator. I have thought about wrapping that section of pipe but worry about causing other issues.
Put a exhaust dongle on it , will make it run more rich and more cool .
You guys ever mod a kids bike? I've got a 5 year old who's crf50 is holding him back. The ktm 50 is a nightmare for reliability from what I've seen. He doesn't really need any more motor. Just more chassis. Like pit bike parts, but set up for a kid?
Look into the cobra mini. Or move up to a 65cc. I wound the mod them
I wouldn’t mod them. My bad🤷🏻♂️
I Have 2001 yamaha R1, and its cranking very nicely when i cold start the Bike, but when i go out with my bike and and riding it like 15 minutes and when I stop for any reason, but my Bike is not starting and even Cranking very slowly when its hot, then i stope for 30 minutes to 1 hour to get my bike normal temperature and then it start. Please help
Do you have a hot start switch? On my 05 crf450r I got one and when the bikes hot it won’t sometimes start unless it’s in neutral and I hold in the hot start switch then it’ll fire right up first kick
@@michaelbehringer9812 they are donkeys I have a 04 kxf they very intemissent on starting sometimes it cold starts sometimes it doesn't some times it hot starts sometimes it doesn't most of time I just bump it off I don't have the time two waste 20mins starting it🤣
My04kxf overheats if I leave idle for ten mins it is so annoying a specially when I am enduro riding and we stop for break even now. And then and it's annoying. Because its a donkey two start aslo so if I turn off I have two bump it sometimes because it just doesn't like two start and I get annoyed and just bump it out of anger any tips will be helpful the over heating that is I just had engine rebuild. And because bike is so old it just doesn't like two start sometimes and I asked a mechanic he said its just how the older bikes are
2 stroke or 4 stroke? If its a 4 stroke it sounds like you need a valve adjustment/re-shim (depending on what system)
never allow a 450 to sit and idle , i have a 2021 kx 450 , when i warm it up , it idles for only a minute , i ride it slowly to allow it to warm up for a few minutes . Plus i dont trail ride or enduro my 450 .
thanks 4 sharing
Or jetting
My PC has bigger rads than that thing 🤣
Anyone count how many times he says “ahhh” in the video?
74 times
Its cool ehhhhh!
No excuse for a perfectly good running 4 stroke to overheat at idle. I just got one and damn near blew a head gasket not knowing these things are a piece of junk as far as design. Maybe I want to sit a listen to my bike but can’t do it unless it’s got a high powered fan on it. I even heard these crap bikes overheat if you don’t ride fast enough. That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. There are many days most people just want to ride slow all day just to relax
Radiator in a dirt bike is just wrong!
You have NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
@@sendit2588 totally agree, what a tool Justin Justin must be.
Wtf have you ever raced enduro
@@sendit2588 real dirt bike is a 2 stroke
@@justinbustin677 so are you saying that 2 strokes don't have radiators...I don't see your argument
