Just type in "bump" or "TTT" if you need more feedback. It'll bring the thread back to the top of the list instead of starting another one. :clap:

Never heard of many YFZs' overheating. I did hear of one doing it and it turned out that when he topped off the radiator fluid there was a rock in the bottle of water he used and it lodged in the radiator and clogged it up. :loser:

There is a fan on it also and maybe it wasn't working properly or the fan switch was bad. Mine has never overheated.

Man how many post are you going to do about this? :mhihi: j/k

Like Duane said, just type TT or bump and readers who looked at it or marked it read will perhaps notice it.

They YFZ is a race bike simply as that. It loves to be rev'd out and to go fast. With that being said if you do trails and several miles at the speed of a 80cc bike that YFZ I expect to over heat. I think it was more of the rider than the bike if he didn't know that I bet he didn't rejet it since it comes lean from yamaha anyways. Thats just asking for issues.
