Great tips, as usual ! I would also add, make sure you don't have a lean air/fuel mixture, because this can greatly increase engine temps. Many of these bikes/atvs are set up to run on the leaner side from the factory, due to strict emissions standards that must be met. Hard cold starting, popping from exhaust on deceleration, random stalling, and increased engine temps are all signs of a lean air/fuel mixture. The way to correct this will be to purchase a tuner module for EFI systems or to re-jet for carbureted fuel systems.

Probably should of provided user error issues as well.. (don't use tap water to replace coolant unless in a pinch or emergency then replace after.) If you get mud in your radiator, it's going to play huge factor in the bike cooling. Oh and when your bike is hot, dont pop off the cap until it's cooled off to check the level! I've seen so many burn injuries from this.

I would only add a few points 1 correct jetting as lean is hotter. 2Correct gearing as slipping the clutch adds heat. 3 ridding cleanly and keeping momentum will keep the air flowing through the fins.

I love your guys stuff, and shop there all the time, BUT, people need to make sure to look at the reviews on that Tusk thermometer radiator cap. When I was looking for a new cap, I ended up skipping that and went with the CV4 you sell. Love it. Then, Engine Ice is a gimmick. Use standard 50/50 coolant from your favorite brand, change it every year or two, and it'll be fine. Lots of people run the Honda pre-mix, but Prestone seems to work just as well. Now, recovery tank might be a good addition. I'll have to think on that one!

This is bullshit but for the piddling amount of fuel these bikes need, it is a good idea to spend extra on the highest octane possible as these premium fuels have premium additives to help keep injectors clean.
@wbenz5 жыл бұрын
Octane doesn’t give more power. Octane is only a measure to prevent detonation. Using an octane greater than what the mfg requires is a waste. If the engine (compression, etc.) requires 91 than use that octane. If it spec for 87, you’ll get no benefit. Look it up. Learn about octane and why it matters. Calling it premium is just bs.

Sorry you are incorrect, Howard is correct. Using the "correct fuel" is the best. Check owners manual, I found that my Husky requires a certain type of race fuel and octane rating. Runs much better now.
@jensenmiller64103 жыл бұрын
@@catmanflorida8545 There you go bud. Your manual calls for a higher octane fuel so you should use it, just like he said. But using 93 in a bike that only calls 87 provides no tangible benefit besides making money fly out of your wallet faster. The one exception is if you can only get ethanol free gas in 91. Then if you have a carb'd bike the ethanol free stuff will be superior over time.

You're right, but it's not because it's meant to only run in the winter. The w number is it's cold weather viscosity rating. You can run a w-rated oil any time of year, as long as it's warm weather (or single viscosity) rating is appropriate for the engine and conditions. 10W-40 is rated at 10 for cold weather and 40 for warm. It's the rating given by SAE during a test to see how quickly oil flows through a tube at certain temps.
