I always see metal filings on the oil drain plug when changing oil. The DS seems to run hot in my opinion - the fan runs almost continuously. The radiator fluid was down a little and when I removed the cap I saw metal filings on the cap! How would metal filings get in the radiator fluid?

 

hi check the waterpump impeller
it might be shaving the casing

 

Scooby, Bombardier is going to hire you on as a torture tester. You find everything!

 

scooby not to be an *** or anything i would sell that one a buy anther one of them like one of there new ones.

 

PAULBERGH, How can I check to see if the water pump is pumping and that the radiator is flowing properly?

run the motor without the radiator cap
you should see the water flowing in the radiator.

replace the cap and take the quad for a spin
the top of the radiator should be hotter than
the bottom . that indicate the water is flowing
and the radiator is cooling.

 

I agree Arizona, LOL, I would say the majority of the posts come from Scooby!

Nothing personal bud, but your problems constitute solutions for the rest of us. Thanks for being the guinea pig!

 

I removed the thermostat and so far the fan seemed to come on a little less often, although I did not drag race it like I was the other day.

 

Be carefull removing the thermostat completely because the fluid flows faster through the radiator and you lose cooling efficiency. If anything replace thermostat with a restrictor plate.

 

i don`t know how long you have had your ds650 but if it fairly new it is just getting setteled when i got my blaster it had metal shavings in it to but has stoped since it got broke in
