I was overheating all weekend at the indiana badlands and am curious why. Some info about it to ponder. Yes I know I was overheating. The hot light was on, the fan was screaming all weekend, and at one point the coolant boiled out of the radiator. I pulled the radiator cap and the radiator is full, as is the res. The radiator was clean as well. It did not come on instantly more like after 1-2 Hours of riding. I was thinking thermostat or water pump but it took so long to start overheating I kinda ruled that out. I had another XX riding with me and he was not having any overheating problems. The only difference between our 2 machines is I have a UNI air filter and a EHS lid. Both of us have stock exhausts with our spark arrestors pulled. The only thing I can come up with is maybe I am running too lean with the filter and lid. I dont have a programmer and I know quads for the most part come pretty lean from the factory. Any ideas? I thought I would get some opinions before I did anything. I really dont want to take it for warrenty and then it not be something broken and get charged a bunch of cash for diagnosis time for nothing.
Please help!
P.S. Some awesome pics and video from the weekend soon to come!
