brian_636 thanks for the tips I needed it my 07 636 has been running hot and lots of good tips on the video. What kind of clip ons do you run and what degree

[@josht1190]

Bro I love your videos I'm saving up for a stunt bike but I don't know what too get it has too be lams do you have any suggestions

[@Steen-ge5bk]

brian_636 just a little thing I have a degree in engine cooling and maintenance and the reason that your bike is running cooler with more water in the system is because water has a better cooling capebillity sorry for my spelling I'm from the netherlands😅 but the video was really education for my little brother because I'm real bad at explaining love your vids keep up the good work

[@TheSummer750]

Brian covered it all, this is high level knowledge and experience he is passing on! ...bike electric fans are notorious for triggering only when way too hot. The fan switch mod is easy guys, piggyback/jumper the wires coming off the radiator to an on/off switch, no cutting of original wires.

[@Darkened_Moto]

Ya Brian is the man!!! I've been watching him for years. He's the only one I watch really. Extremely helpful, down to earth and kills it on stunting. Thanks for the advice with the switch. Totally see what your talking about with the piggy backing. I was just going to run it straight to the battery, but feed into the already existing line sounds easier. I don't have my ecu flashed tho, and ur right about the electric vans mine doesn't come on until around 218 to 220. I'll figure it out. Much love ,636 crew!!!

[@PrestomaticFPV]

please explain this! I did a mock up and the wires would spark etc. How do I do this?

[@ANT6184]

If your bike is overheating after repairing hoses. Burp the system by opening the coolant reservoir cap, squeezing the hoses quickly many times to pump the air pockets up and out of the reservoir careful not to burn yourself. Run the bike as you burp (squeeze) the hoses and if the engine temp gets too high shut off the motor and allow it to cool a moment. The fluid in the reservoir may (should) be sucked into the system so just refill as needed.

[@alejandrotobienne8220]

Most water pumps have a bleed bolt. That’s all that is needed.

First level of engine cooling: oil -- keep the oil level topped off and use full synthetic

I have a question to you guys that lives at places where water can actually freeze. When the cooland or water is freeze on the cooling system. Why dont you turn on the bike and the ice would melt. It doesnt work this way? By the way, this could damage the water pump wings isn't ? Thanks. Great video bro. By the way... i recomend always use coolant instead of water, not just because the antifreeze properties, but for the lubricant properties to the pump.

Literally doing all of this. I don't want to wrap my beautiful headers at all but I'm doing it. Stunting and overheating regularly will just rip these bikes apart. God damn I'm glad I watched this. I'll have to do quite a bit of work to fit a second fan in but screw it. I'll leave the stock one wired og and put a switch on the second one. My frame gets scolding hot after a 60 second wheelie to a stop light I swear. Thanks a lot for all of this advice.

Thanks BEE BEE, my 05 636 is turning off at 200 or above. It starts sputtering an then turns off. Even on the hwy it's want go lower then 190 to 180. An I'm wanting to sell it since I have the CBR now, and I don't want to rip anyone off. Just bcuz others ripped me off when I first started doesn't mean I'm going to do the same!!!! I wish I could keep both bikes, but I needs some money sosss I can start a lawn business. Gotta make that money till I can utube full time. Ya feels me??? I know you do!!!

[@Aridrona]

It's the ecu over heating, common problem. Heat wrap the tail and mid pipe

[@Darkened_Moto]

@@Aridrona I have definitely have an undertale exhaust and I have like that buddy of circuit put on for my Yoshi exhaust and when I bought the bike he was saying something about the exhaust heating up that part too much. I think the ECU has been flashed my fan comes on at 2:12. I think I'm going to sell the 636 I'm just going to stunt out my Honda CBR. it's an RR but it has the electronic damper which is nice even though it doesn't really do shit when I'm in a wheelie overall the CBR is just way lighter and only has like 5,000 miles and 636 is sitting at 28,000 miles. going to sell it for 3500 bucks that's what I picked it up for and it's like in perfect shape besides this little heating issue. thanks though yeah I need to heat wrap it

Good info!

[@brian636]

Thanks brother!!!All love

[@revhead9897]

Anti-freeze is a worse conductor than water, it cools your engine less efficiently, but you need it if the temperature where you live gets below 0 degrees Celsius, which is the freezing temperature for water (pure). I live in Qatar and the temperature is around 48 degrees C which is 118.4 Fahrenheit. It never gets below 15 C in the winter so I just run 100% distilled water in my bike and it stays relatively cool. Make sure you run pure distilled water and not tap or mineral water because your radiator will get clogged up inside due to electrolysis.

[@olsonjslipknot]

Great video thanks 👌

[@BESFLIX]

[@djlancer88]

yoo I just bought a 600 f4i and hit temp of like 235, doing grandma city driving, advice? on a cool night like 65 degrees out

[@brian636]

Yeah go through these steps

[@garryseinfeld9212]

Sounds like bad oil could add on top if you're not stunting. I'd be wondering how old both fluids are at that point. Highest my f4i ever got was 224 after a pretty long sit-down and that was with old old oil. Coolant and radiator were fine. Temp sensor could of had a stroke or something as well not setting off the fan. Only writing this if these tips in the video didn't diagnoss your problem. I truly feel for people dealing with f4i issues at this point lmfao. Good luck and let's check our airbox for oil overflow 😂😂😭

[@garryseinfeld9212]

Grandma city driving is also a pretty toasty time js. Less cooling air ya know.

[@rayslife4k]

Mine was overheating and I think I was driving without fluid in my radiator I put fluid in the overflow tank insted of the radiator 😢

[@travisc231]

So I got a 1984 Honda Goldwing GL1200 Interstate, just recently I had to change my radiator however despite filling my radiator (100% coolant which may be the issue) w/ the fan running my engine still appears to be overheating all the while setting off my oil pressure light when I ride. With that being said my oil levels are appearing to be a good levels yet the light comes. I'm suspecting that it may either be a oil pump or even my coolant not going through the engine but I don't even know how I could effectively check those things.

[@brian636]

Maybe a bad thermostat not opening up when the motor get too hot can cause issues like that man. You can try engine ice, or other coolants and fans as well.

[@REM44MAG]

Exhaust removes 40% of the heat. I doubt header wraps benefit at all. Probably best to just buy high quality headers/exhaust system and call it a day. The heat is removed with the hot exhaust gases. What I would add to this video is ensuring and adjusting valve clearance, to ensure proper valve overlap timing. The cool air enters the intake valve and cools the exhaust valve as it passes through during valve overlap, this is what cools the engine. Oh and if the bike is running lean, guess what? You guessed it, overheating and burning out the exhaust valves.

[@TheSummer750]

Best to inform yourself on header wrap, wrapping turbo manifolds, ceramic coating (internally and externally), cold air intake isolation on vehicles. Your engineering theory is incorrect on every point you made. Including air and water cooled engines. You have much to learn.
