what are you running for a carb now.

 

keihin 42 mm pumper carb w/ mechanical slide

 

possibility of an air pocket in your head? Had that on my scrambler and on the 03 ds, Ran hot, puked out the overflow, seemed like it was a real problem bled it better and no more problem. Just a thought. Or a faulty sensor.

 

air pocket...bled in more?? please explain alittle more crazy

 

you've got air trapped in your head instead of coolant air doesn't dissipate heat very efficientlyso the metal heats up in a hurry. Air rises so it goes to the highest point it can a lot of times thats in your head. On my scrambler i loosened the rad. cap ran it and shook it leaned it over and loosened the bleeder screw on the head . ran it for about an hour before all the air was gone, no more trouble after that.

 

i don't think i have a bleeder screw....just a wepp hole, but it's worth a shot ;D i'll give her a try

 

opie take your radiator cap off and put a ds under it! that will fix it![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
