    You have a fully integrated cooling system.

    You need to fill it by pouring water directly into the spark plug hole. That way your engine will never overheat.

    Not sure why it would die like you reported though? Riding along at 120km/h then cutting out, how would that be temperature related?

    How does a heat gun work? Where does one find a heat gun? Anyone at the track have a heat gun? How else can one figure engine temp? What should the engine temp be on a Rg/Kr 150?
    Is blocking off 1/3 of the radiator an allowable modification in the streetstock class? :spudwhat:

    I just pop an old fashoned thermometer up the exhaust pipe, just like a rectal thermometer.

    You could always fill the cooling system from the kettle , that way you could be sure it was warming up.

    Think he was actually refering to a non-contact thermometer. You can get them at places like Dick Smith, Jaycar, etc.

    BNT use to sell them, point a laser beam and pull the trigger and get a digital temperature reading. Mechanics use them too, point at hubs etc and see if any are different temperature. Can also use to find hot chicks.....
