My ex just plain out runs hot. It starting to melt my new plastic. The jetting is right the plug is good it has 20w50 castrol oil and the cooling fins are clean. Whats the problem?

 

put an oil coller that will help

 

where exactly is the plastic melting? around the pipe?

sometimes aftermarket pipes come too close to plastic and melt it.

I don't see how the motor could get that hot to melt plastic..

 

First of all I don't have the money for an oil cooler. Its melting near the kickstart molding (250x cut out). The headpipe is about a 1/4inch away from it. I can't stand this cobra anyway. It is a cobra jet and it just may be me thats its hot but I know one thing. Its not supposed to be that close and melting plastic. Is there anyway I can get a temperature reading of the oil?

 

my plastic melts in the same spot..just trim it away a little more..buy some heat tape and stick it on the back side..problem solved..you aren't over heating!
