450 dirt bike overheating.

[@MVDBR]

Nice bit of exploring mate, can ya get a fan kit for the Zuki? Great thing to have for them slow technical hills 👌

[@BrokenSprocket]

Thanks mate I'm going to look into a fan kit for the bike I need one for the kind of riding I do..

[@MAKENTRAX]

Definately fan....i haven't had the 2017 (fan) overheat in the same terrain that the 2006 (no fan) used to....fan for the win👌

[@BrokenSprocket]

Yeah I'm looking into a fan thanks mate.

[@advsquared]

You sound like me, always up for a challenge but knowing when to turn back. I guess the bike saw the hill and decided it didn't want to try, lol!

[@BrokenSprocket]

Yeah it was to much for me and the bike on the day but just like you I will return and try again lol...

[@motomachinezuk8786]

Crazy out on your own in the deep Bush and good job rad did not rupture where it over heated else sore legs walking back

[@BrokenSprocket]

For sure mate it's a long walk back to my place from there but I will return .

[@jonoj7666]

Nice adventure 😊 great job 👌🏻 👍

[@BrokenSprocket]

Thanks mate I think I will try that again...

[@ktmhaka]

Another great vid mate. Yeah a fan kit might be worth exploring for sure. That’s the thing about solo missions, tread carefully, but when your on the bike it’s easy to forget how quickly it can turn to shit until it happens.

[@BrokenSprocket]

Thanks mate. Yeah I need to look at a fan kit, and you need to pic your battles when riding solo for sure thanks for watching .

[@inthepumpkinpatch5383]

Hill looks like a gnarly climb Did your brother make it up that in one of your other videos?

[@BrokenSprocket]

Thanks mate. This is the first time I have done this trail I only found it on the day but I have come in the other direction and stoped on the top of that hill.

[@CainSample]

450's like to run hot,especially not moving like you said....awesome vid 👍 Becareful out there riding alone

[@BrokenSprocket]

Thanks mate I'm going to try again soon when it cools down.

[@MAKENTRAX]

Awesome Stuff mate...your challenge is to concur that hill🤘

[@BrokenSprocket]

Yeah for sure I've been thinking about it all week and I will return.

[@MrAelarag1]

Steve, i have the same bike and bought a Trail Tech Universal Fan Kit and a Outlaw 1.8 Bar radiator cap. Problem solved

[@BrokenSprocket]

Thanks Peter I will have a look on the net and see if I can find them were did you get yours?

[@MrAelarag1]

@@BrokenSprocket Both from Ebay buddy, i believe you can get them from MX store for the same price. The Fan kit needs to be fitted to the left hand side radiaor (as your sitting on the bike) as it wont fit on the right and the Outlaw radiator cap fits under the IMS tank. I run the bike at about 70 degrees before the fan turns on and it runs ice cold all day.

[@MrAelarag1]

The copper temperature probe on the fan kit needs to be shaved down slightly to fit between the fins but its an easy fix.

[@MrAelarag1]

@@BrokenSprocket Oh and Engine Ice radiator fluid helps.

[@BrokenSprocket]

Thanks for your help Peter looking into it now.

[@behindbarswithnoodles]

Ohh that hills looks challenging, but definitely try it with others around😃

[@MAKENTRAX]

Definately agree Noodles

[@BrokenSprocket]

Thanks Noodles I'm definitely going to try it again. I'm liking the new picture for your KZbin channel.

[@crugwrf]

That hill looked tough steve try it again next time when you take a few blokes out with ya good job😎

[@BrokenSprocket]

Thanks mate I'm looking forward to trying it again next time with some more confidence lol...

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

Wow, you know when a hill looks very steep on a gopro, then it is a really steep hill. With all those rocks to fall on it's probably a good idea you didn't continue alone. Nice video.

[@BrokenSprocket]

Thanks Donnie it was to hard for me on the day but I'm going to try again soon.

[@RacerRed]

looked like a fun little trail!

[@BrokenSprocket]

Thanks mate I'm going to try that again.

[@swedishrick377]

Cool that log sticking out about head high looked like a snake or something trying to get you lol. That’s got to be tough on that large 450 bike. Good on you for trying bud! Too much heat on top of that is even more torture. Be well mate.

[@BrokenSprocket]

Thanks mate yeah that hill was to hard for me and the bike agreed lol i plan to try it again and make it to the top thanks for watching 😉👍

[@ishat4550]

i overheated my 2018 CRF250R on the break-ins, coolant came out and i was worried i damaged something, put some water in the radiators 30 mins later and now i have like 15-20 hours on the bike and its still good, is there anything i should still look out for?

[@BrokenSprocket]

yeah I think they spit the coolant out before any damage can be done I've had no problems with mine since thanks for watching.

[@ishat4550]

Broken Sprocket yeah no problem, thanks for the response!

[@mikeking7388]

Used to have a 2007 rmz450 used to melt my y connector happened twice and sold it

HELLO MY BROTHER BROKEN .. ALL OK ??? MORE A VERY GOOD VIDEO A HUG ... FROM BIG LIKE

[@BrokenSprocket]

Thanks mate and thanks for watching...

[@mattkeno2405]

Radiator fans work well, the trail tech ones are good but way overpriced, if you like making things yourself you can use good sized CPU fans from a PC and rig it up with a simple on/off switch, no need for a thermostat, just switch the fans off and on When you want.

[@silvertopenduro2703]

ohh Steve, Steve , Steve. Mate going out on your own! reach out and let see if someone can come with you. I had crf450x that boiled over through the overflow. A new radiator cap with new fluids seemed to help. The new cap was a bastard to push on, that just indicated how the spring had weakened on the old one! if that tip helps! "SilverTop - Douggie"

[@BrokenSprocket]

Hahaha it a spur of the moment ride. Thanks for the info on the radiator cap.

[@inthepumpkinpatch5383]

@@BrokenSprocket you may consider using wetter water that's what I use for my coolant I also bought a radiator cap on Rocky mountain ATV that has my temperature on it and I can see it as I'm riding

[@BrokenSprocket]

Thanks mate I'm looking at a radiator cap like that one $86 over here not cheap lol...
