neo Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Hi All, You'll need Google Translate for this one but has anyone fitted one these Cooling Kits ? Do they work?... Any resellers in the UK? Best of balance. Neo Edited April 3, 2011 by Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I don't like the look of that impeller with the taller blades...the shaft it sits on has very femma bearings to begin with? Am I just Mr. Negative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw dave Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 They are supplied to the TTT Beta team I believe, and Steve Saunders sells them in the UK, we ( Outlaw Trialsport) are the Distributor in Canada, but have not yet had any feed back because we are still in winter conditions. The Italian manufacturer - Costa Special parts, make a whole line of extra "Bling" for all brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 .the shaft it sits on has very femma bearings to begin with?Am I just Mr. Negative? No I think negatives are good things when used as an opportunity to find a work-around. I could be wrong but I thought that ball bearing cage was over rated (rather than under rated) for the job? They are supplied to the TTT Beta team I believe, and Steve Saunders sells them in the UK, we ( Outlaw Trialsport) are the Distributor in Canada, but have not yet had any feed back because we are still in winter conditions. The Italian manufacturer - Costa Special parts, make a whole line of extra "Bling" for all brands. Awesome thanks for that Dave..... but thinking about it...Summer or Winter that pump still has the same load on it so that's a good indication the bearings are holding up OK. Best of balance.

copemech Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I was not aware there was a problem with the standard circulation. The thermodynamics of the system is limited by the radiator anyway, as it can only dissipate soo much heat. Even less when mud packed. And pushing fluid through in a higher rate can actually defeat cooling ability after a point due to the time/transfer element. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I think Italy and Australia have one thing in common.... HEAT!! I think I'm goner have to give this a shot I'll let you know how I go. Best of balance. Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Why not go the whole hog & fit a set of the inline aluminium heat exchangers while you're at it? Much more noticable bling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofasttim Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I think Italy and Australia have one thing in common.... HEAT!! Not in the north. It's alpine up there. The south? Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But without trying it myself how am I going to know? Not in the north. It's alpine up there. The south? Maybe. ...Ok hows this ...."I think most of Italy and most of Australia have one thing in common.... HEAT!!" Best of balance. Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Not sure how you are going to know anyway without installing thermocouple and guage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) does your bike have a thermostat? Of couse it has a bloody (working) thermostat If you read the website gents .. "The result is a better fuel mixture that remains stable even after long climbs almost completely by decreasing the classic knock which has a very hot engine". On hot days I've experienced that "Classic Knock" many times on three different bikes (2 Sherco and one Beta) after a long ride with 6 different carbs fitted (at different times) too. This guy has obviously experience the same issue. Otherwise he wouldn't bother making this cooling kit. It's only a mild knock and it's not a big problem but there has been no explanation to this issue until now ... So it's worth giving this a go I think. Best of balance.
