lvn954 09-05-2004, 10:21 AM :? I have a question? Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can get my 954rr to run cooler when stuck in traffic? I thought I was going to cook my nards the other day, when I hit some traffic. Any ideas write back and stay on two wheels. :D Anonymous 09-05-2004, 10:26 AM engine ice I have or water wetter helps but My bike still gets pretty hot in stop and go traffic. Anonymous 09-05-2004, 10:27 AM Two things... 1. Replace your coolant with a product called Engine Ice... 2. Kill your engine at stop lights, just flip your kill switch off and then back on so your fan can work... Flightmedic954 09-05-2004, 12:40 PM What is the temp range w/ the ice? the bike seems to like 180* & in traffic will get a little >200* but I don't think I have seen 210*, not sure. What are the real #'s you guys w/ the ice or similar see? Wheelie 09-05-2004, 12:45 PM Engine Ice will not make your engine run cooler, temps climb slower, and it cools back to normal a little faster when you get rolling, the only way to lower your temp is to change the thermostat. weeeeee cbrjimmy1KRR 09-05-2004, 12:47 PM your engine will still get as hot with engine ice as it does without, but it'll take longer to get there. and what everybody else said :wink: Flightmedic954 09-05-2004, 12:49 PM that makes sense Wheelie 09-05-2004, 12:56 PM Install a manual fan switch, that helps. weeee Wheelie 09-05-2004, 12:58 PM A while back on 954rr.com I think? a guy was selling a cooler thermostat, kinda high on price but he had to cut it down to make it fit. weeeee lvn954 09-05-2004, 05:14 PM :D Thanks for the replies. Yea, my bike runs at 180 degrees on the hwy. But it goes over 212 when stuck in trafic. There's a lot of trafic here in Orlando Fl. on the city streets. :x Anyway thanks for all the ideas. Stay on two wheels 8) . Anonymous 09-05-2004, 10:10 PM Fuck I am getting to 225-230 at lights here..... Flightmedic954 09-06-2004, 12:18 AM I put DEI's black wrap on my headers, I have always wrapped my pipes but this 54 is Ti. they say not to wrap them because it breaks down the Ti quicker, I cant get any straight answer as to how quick though. So fuck it, if they start leaking time to get rid of the slip-on & go full. Oh shit, I saw a bike that had the can heat wrapped, the other day. Not quite sure what the purpose of that is, hell its behind you @ that point, and he DIDN'T have the header's wrapped and it looked like shit, if it even looked good then fine | ||
