hi guys i have an 01 warrior that gets extreamley hot. when i sit on it my legs start to sweat and i cant ride for to long because the heat gets unbarable. yesterday wile i was watching my friend hit this jump my quad was idiling and all of a sudden it died so when i tried to restart it it wouldent work so i looked at the starter and it was smoking hot i dont know what wrong and why i gets so hot

 

Here's a few things that cause excessive heat:
Incorrect spark plug gap or heat range
bad CDI-timing
incorrect oil level/viscosity
bad oil pump
clogged air filter
incorrect jetting
bad head gasket
carbon build up in combustion chamber
also does the quad coast freely or is something dragging(bearings/brakes)

 

thanks for the quick response the quad coasts fine

 

My warrior run hot i never thought anything of it yea my legs sweat but its also a combustion chamber 8 inches from you legs

 

yea but mine gets so hot it wont start like if i wash it off and get it soaked it will have steamed off all the water after a minute of running my lt230 takes 15

 

I'm trying to figure out why my 03 warrior runs hot. It runs fine but gets hot in seconds of starting, but i cant tell if its because i havent been on it in a while or if it is really to hot. I've gone through all the motions.

Does anyone have a clue what the round about running temp should be for a warrior????

 

Don't wash it right after you ride!!!!! Wait until it cools down. It will steam if it is hot like that.

 

OF cousre, you will see steam when you ride through puddles too or get hit with any water for that matter

 

no i wate till its cold then wash it then after when i start it up to drive it to the shed
all the watter gets steamed off

like bassballs818 whats the avarge running temp for these things

 

it's an air cooled motor, it's gonna get hot. get used to it.
if it's that unbearable switch to a heavier oil in the summer.
