I use engine ice in my YFZ 450 but did not really notice a difference in cooling. I don't have a temp gauge so all I can tell about the engine temp is how often the fan comes on and I'm sure it didn't change. For the cost of it, I would go with something else.
Thanks for the post of the t-stat, I think I will pick one up on tuesday. Do you know what temperature these sleds normally run at and what temperatures different years of t-stats open at?
The mid altitude map update is the 2007 computer program update and is supposed to be the best for the RTs. This would create a new base for you to tune off of. From what I have read and a friends experience from this week, the black smoke is from it running too cold and I would suggest a...
Since this is kind of a ask the wise about RTs thread, I found that my front cooler was leaking and decided to by pass it. I ran the coolant through and it has been sitting in my friends shop for the past month and he noticed that it slowly leaking still (not in the cooler). I think its leaking...
Nice job and great lookin sled. Just curious about why you went to the small vents on the side panels instead of keeping your original ones? I have been looking at kits and thought the bigger ones would be nicer.
I agree with ridehard, get ur crank checked out. I have a friend who had a dirtbike and it would idle fine but kept going through stators and not rev up. Turns out his crank was broke in half. The crank would definately be a good place to check especially if it has a few miles on the original crank.
I agree I think that 1000s are awesome but everyone who rides them only seems to run the boondocker box and no one has an opinion on anything else. Ride the best
I have been using F1 for a while now and love it. It makes for a good clean up after machine polishing and blends the hard to reach spots well. Thanks for making a great product.
I think a very important thing to realize is that ebay has a lot of items that are there just to make money for the seller. They are lower costs than most because they are lower quality. If you do research into chip, at least for quads, you will find that the top dollar chips do make a...
I have been thinking of doing this to my 04 YFZ 450 but was curious of the gain. Would you say it made more of a difference than a pipe?? could you PM me with the price you paid??
My friend is running the timbersled filters so I was going to see how he liked them then possible get the same. Is anyone running the boss controller, is it easy to install and tune???
I have polished my sled as well as many of my friends and I use the electric buffers that I also use on big trucks. This seems to work the best but does take some skill and time. If you would like it done PM me, Im in Edmonton.
