Hawk Heat/Cooling Anything to Worry About?
I'm loving my new Hawk, but am a bit worried about over heating her. I do plan to do a good amount of road crusing, at speeds of 45-60 mph. I'll likely ride at those speeds for 30-90 mins or more.
Right now the only thing that is not factory is the chain. I am planning on swapping out the sprockets, and doing the Motocheez airbox mod. Is it good to go as is, or do I HAVE to do the mods before a longer ride? Would other things like exhaust, or carb swap help keep it cooler? Would it be worth while to get a handheld laser thermometer to check the temp occasionally, and if so what parts should be what temps? I've never noticed the exhaust feeling hot coming out of the pipe so maybe there's nothing to even worry about? How long would you guys ride without stopping at these speeds? Thanks for all the info! Can't wait to keep learning more so I can contribute helpful info too. I plan to make a lot of videos and will like my chanel soon! |
