need suggestions, i have an 88 r currently running a cr head gasket and an inline cooler(20 fin) and a stock radiator with maxima cool aide. and it still runs hot, sometimes it overflows just a little, but then sometimes it starts boiling back into the overflow bottle. its a xc bike with a ct midrange pipe, fmf q2 silencer, 67.5mm wiseco some port work(mostly just a clean up job)
any suggestions?

if u have a quad other then a 450 and are sick of 450 riders telling u to get a 450 copy and paste this into your profile
anybody want a peanut?
if you are willing to spend the money a PWR or similar aftermarket alluminum radiator would help a little
you can find good ones on ebay for around 325-400
and you already have an inline cooler that would have been my only other recommendation
what temp range are you seeing?

havent checked yet but after doing a search on this forum i think i have figured out that it is the head gasket

I'd say you're on the right track. You shouldn't be overheating with a stock cylinder like that.Originally posted by gearhead11

I ran a 330 with a stock rad and never overheated. When i went to the 350 i got a Afco Dual Pass and with the 401 me and Jon370 are running fans.

i have had 310 pro-x motors, and now im running a PC2000, and have had LRD 300's, and never had any over heating problems. hows your water pump? the stock sytem should be more than effecient for a stock jug.

I'd check the radiator cap or just get a new one. Lots of times those can be an issue.

checked the pump about 2 mounths ago when i put a new clutch in it.
also have a 30lb radiator cap but havent tried it yet, i was told it could cause problems b/c of to much pressure. stock cap is 16-20lbs
