Hi guys, I was sitting in traffic at americade and noticed my temp kept getting very close to the red zone and decided to shut the bike down a couple of times. Its an 07 no real mods execpet bolt ons. Not sure if this is common or not. I had a 06 and never had this problem. any info/ upgrade sugestions would be great thanks

1. Use water and watter wetter, you dont need anti-freeze in the Summer. Water will cool more. Just remember to replace before freezing temps.
2. Get a Muzzys aluminum fan from cloud 9 motorsports site sponsor. It moves way more air for better cooling and is lighter than stock plastic.
It was 108F three weeks ago here, my busa did fine in city driving and that was before the fan upgrade on a stock bike.

I ride a 2003 and it does not do well in traffic when the weather is warm. It always tries to run hotter than it should.
I need to check into the Muzzy fan as well. I just hate to install anything that says Muzzy on the Suzuki.
The Busa was not made to sit still, it was made ride. When the bike sits still there is no air-flow through the fairing.

Muzzy fan and add water wetter. I have had no problems since.

I imagine you could pull your bike right into the expo and have it fixed right there.
Americade rocks.
uh . . . yeah, 40 x 1.8 + 32 = 104. OK, that is warm.Mine was overheating too in traffic last week, but it was almost 40 celsius

The fan comes on at about half way up the temp guage on my bike. Fortunatly I've not had to set in traffic very long and it never has gotten any warmer than that. Most all sport type bikes (full fairing) I've been around don't like to idle in traffic very well and promptly overheat.
I've been in non moving traffic in high 90* days with stock fan and never had a problem. I did install a Muzzy fan during the winter since I had the fairings off. The highest she gets on the temp gauge is just a hair above the middle mark.
I wonder why some busa's will tend to run hotter?

True but you are not referencing a pressurized value. Besides it says so on the side of the water wetter bottle.
water has the best characteristics for pulling off or absorbing heat from a metal surface.once you add antifreeze you are comprimising or cutting into that characteristic. its a trade-off for a higher boiling point and lower freezing point. straight water shouldn't boil though because it is in a pressurized system
