Default riding on unjetted mods

so i put the twin k&n filters on my banshee, didnt rejet and rode around on them for several hours... 5 to be exact. After one of the rides, i was almost empty on coolant. It starts fine and crap..... but i think I might have done some damage that is gonna show on my next ride... due to this lean mixture... what are your guys thoughts?

Well, running lean is definetely not a good thing to do. You probably didnt do too much damage on that time period though. Good Luck

is the bike piped, or still stock? If it is stock, you are well within limits for being ok. Lots of air in but still very restrictive going out. even if it is piped you should be ok. But rejet that bugger in a hurry

You are probably ok, if you stop riding it now.

Rejet now, or rebuild next week.

If the coolant is evaporating and not just leaking out then either you have your mix wrong (too much af and not enough h20), or your machine is running hot. If its running hot is probably lean...
