Gearing???

[GAHTI]

I recently dropped one tooth on my Busa and ever since then my bike constantly runs hot... I've heard that dropping one tooth on the front sprocket gives you a better launch/throttle response but I haven't heard anything about it making you bike run hotter??? I don't do long trips just 30 or so miles a day and at times a week so its not a big issue but its annoying the hell out of me! Advice???

I done the same mod to my 08 and I havent had any problems, maybe you got a pinched line while put your cover back on, and

I went +5 on the rear, which is like dropping 2 in the front, no changes in engine temp.

I run water wetter though, great stuff if you don't have to worry about freezing temps.

I dont think it is from changing your gearing at all

your fan should take care of any increase in heat from higher engine reving...

Um don't think you should mix WW with regular coolant? I might be wrong though.

-1 in the front on my 07'. Have had it like that for a year and a half. Never had an overheating problem yet.

If it's from your new sprocket it's due to higher rpm's. That shouldn't effect it that much.
