if its real hot yes at least it has some flow promlem is if you cant move they are normally boiling over anyway so if you keep it running it will just loose more coolant. Your better to stop it get unstuck as quick as pos and get moving agian even if it means turning round and going back (not one a trail ride where other are comin at you though)

a 6 inch PC fan only draws about 30ma I think, so a few would be ok to run of a small battery pack. Or just find a straight..... LOL

If i ran PC fans id run 6v fans x4 on a 11.1v Lipoly battery pack would last all day and the 6v fans really hum on 11.1v

You can get a stator kit to run lights for the CRF450Rs and im guessing all the other bikes. includes extra loom and a 3.7Ah NiMH Battery pack.

May as well just buy a spare CRF450X i think.

I havnt seen radiator caps with temp id be keen on one of them!

Really work well, but can steam up if you are on a constant boil all day.
