Here comes the noob questions sorry... Been riding the tc449 for a while now and it has always seemed to overheat in the tight tight woods. Im a intermediate rider that i tend to get myself over my head and i have noticed the bike overheats from time to time. is this a big deal ? I let it sit and cool down and ride for a while and its fine till i get stuck or stall on a steep hill and by the time i get going again after 5 or so attempts its hot again. think romanic type stuff
More noob questions
should i totally stop the bike and let it kool down ?
should it even be doing this ?
what should i be worried about ?
What damage am i causing ?
should i be running engine Ice instead of coolant ?
Yes the coolant is topped up
the bike seems to run warm/hot even from new
yes there is oil in the engine
i just got my first dent in my pipe Sunday when i lost the front end going down a lose baby head hill. Super small scratchs with a bit of a flat dent ( will take pics in the daylight)
There is not may of these around the lowermainland Vancouver Bc
maybe 4 ive seen or herd of so i have nothing to compare it too.
i was told 4 strokes get very hot in tight woods riding and its to be normal.
rode 2 strokes as a kid till i was 18 or so then got into racing Downhill mtn bikes moved out west to whistler and never looked back till i was 34 this is my first bike back its a husky ( good deal) love the bike its a 4 stroke and im riding in deep tech woods riding think 1st 2nd gear unless it opens up to a fire road. 2 weeks ago i climbed from 3800 feet to 8000feet in a race and she didnt seem to overheat much but i kept some good flow the entire time.
