Well this is the first problem I have had, running around all day yesterday in the snow I would get the overheat light.Is this a big deal?How do I fix It?

Thanks,
Mike C

 

Is it possable the snow has blocked the air flow through the radiator? Even in 15 degree weather air must flow through the radiator.

 

yep, common with sleds as well, radiator probably packed up with snow or ice

 

I believe the problem is the fact that these machines come from the factory so lean... then reduce the temp. by 30+ degrees (compared to what the temp. at the California factory was at the time) and you've got super-lean.

I'd try backing out the fuel screws each a 1/2 turn (more if needed) and see what that does. That may help some.

Mine has always run blistering-hot, but due to the numerous problems I've had this past riding season, I no longer work on- or ride mine!!

 

I just went out and looked and the radatior is clogged with mud.Easy fix thanks for the help I will have to start watching that better.I have never owen a bike that is liquid cooled before.

Thanks
Mike C

 

you have to watch over heating these machines. you can warp the heads or do even more damage. keep an eye on that light.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but I thought these machines
were assembled in Lincoln Neb. ?????
