No…not that thing on your arse :ohmy:
My last little outing on the crf, she got pretty hot in pines ( that sounds kinda allright
)
I have seen a few other Hondas in the past steam up a bit in the tight stuff.
My Wr never looked like boiling. :huh:
My question is this…Is this a Honda thing ?2 Bob’s worth welcome
Bol :woohoo:
The 690 also gets hot in the tight stuff Boll,,,
You just need to get moving to keep that air moving thru the rad matey
I installed a lower temp thermoswitch on mine recently to help out, fan nows cuts in at around 82 rather than the factory set 105 :whistle:
You may be able to do similar for the red shitter :laugh:
note… Red Shitter comment is more directed at you know who 😆 :woohoo:

More like your fat arse blocking the air when im riding on your hammer Snowy
My Crf250 got really hot in a recent ride with STM. It was very technical , wet and slow but she never boiled

Sensible answer short Bollocks, your Honda has radiators the same size as your WR did. Your WR is probably half worn out no where near as much compression as the 450 thus creates more heat and faster. You need to keep moving, turn it off straight away when stopped. Check your radiator cap, good quality coolant and make sure the cores are clean.
I see more KTMs boil than any other bike (it’s true not a lunge at them) we had trouble with the KTM530 I have been riding when Steve first got it. It boiled the first time in the singles when Steve rode it and I was on the XR. It had a fan and was still boiling, I changed the coolant, replaced the near new cap because it wasn’t holdin pressure. It have been riding it since, it’s never boiled. Turn it off as soon as you stop avoid long idle periods and ignore Eagle

As much as I enjoy disagreeing with TB, :laugh: he is on the money here. Try a 1.6 radiator cap and avoid long idle periods.
yous are so honda biased :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
wasnt Bols WR a 250?
1st, try the radiator cap, 1.6 or 1.8 bar will definately help.
2nd, also look at the jetting. this can effect the bottom 1/4 or 1/2 of the throttle too
3rd, get a fan, then you can do your hair with it too mate
my kato never boiled once until i changed the jetting, it goes harder and is smoother but now i gotta change it back cause it boils in singles, especially if i get stuck behind one of you Tanworth blokes :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
oh, look a sensible answer….
put it in tech talk you pelican :laugh: :laugh:
Bollocks if I remember corectly the rear sprocket on that thing was fairly small as the guy who had it before you spent a fair bit of time on the road ??? Take it back to stock gearing or even shorter and you won’t be using the clutch so much which heats up the engine.
I vote to keep it out of tech help as you still got all the help you needed but nobody got moderated. Found a fan that may be big enough to cool your bike and your fat arse at the same time, simply mount on your front mud guard!
