busa matt
Registered
hey guys. i think i know what i need to do but i would like to know what you all think about this. i got this busa about a month ago. it has a big bore kit, full yosh exhaust ported and polished heads, aftermarket cams, the usual goodies..... it had a blown trans when i got it, i fixed it put it all together and have been riding it since and put about 900 miles on it thus far. from the get go i have been having high temp problems. i thought it was air pockets in the coolant. i followed the factory service manual procedure for filling coolant. it has engine ice, i recently installed a muzzy fan in it. and as long as i am moving it stays below half way up on the guage. as soon as i sit still for any longer than two or three minutes it gets hot. really hot. to the point it starts puking coolant out of the overflow. when i installed the fan i checked the rad and it was full. i start out on the cool line on the overflow so it is not too much in it. i find it hard to believe i could still have air pockets after 900 miles of pretty spirited riding on it but i suppose it could be possible. when i run it with the fairings off i do not see it leaking any drips anywhere. there is not coolant in the oil. what should my next step be? i am thinking i need to do a leak down check. what do you all think? is it possible i still have air pockets?? or is it something more serious?
