What can i put on my kx 85 thats cheap to make it run cooler?

Question

I need something to make the engine run less hot? *****

Answer 1

If it is a air cooled motor, there isnt a great deal you can do. Perhaps you can try wrapping your exhaust with heat wrap tape, or putting a heat shield between the exhaust and the motor.

Maybe try new oil as well, oil acts as a coolant as well as a lubricant.

If its water cooled, try draining your radiator, and flushing it out,  and the putting in new coolant.

I wouldnt advise putting anything on the motor, as it can catch on fire, or melt over the motor.

Answer 2

oil coolers r cheap

Answer 3

As an air cooled engine you cannot expect it to not be hot. The heat that comes off the engine is proof that the cooling system is working to save your engine from blowing up. Since it's a 2-stroke you'll probably have limited help from an oil cooler also.

Just enjoy the heat and realize that it means your engine is working properly.

Answer 4

ok since your bike is a LIQUID COOLED TWO STROKE for those of you that dont know what a kx 85 is lets start with the simple stuff. there is a product called warter wetter or engine ice that takes the place of your engine coolant www.engineice.com. it works great now lets go back to the two stroke thing have you changed your exhaust if so your carb jetting has a lot to do with how cool the engine runs to lean = hotter running but the engine will run like a scalded dog. the old saying is lean is mean. but be careful it could be to hot and burn a hole in the piston or seeze the engine if you have accse to an infered temp gun the head should be around 195-230 if there leave alone
