RE: radiator overheating
the G3 page on the GTS fiche seems to imply that there are 2 sensors that control the fans in the GTS radiator. is that correct or am I miss reading the page. thanks Mike Coan www.warmnsafe.com Home of the Heat-troller www.ttg-global.com Motorcycle Travel Site -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 11, 2000 4:22 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: radiator overheating I would check the water pump for proper circulation, or the radiator for proper coolant flow. If you are loosing CFM of water, it could cause over heating. Another remote possiblity is a blown/leaking head gasket. If combustion is leaking into the water jacket, it can push water out the overflow. If you suspect this, there is a dye that can be added to the coolant that reacts to the combustibles, and is visible under UV light. Best to have a shop test this for you, the kit to do it yourself is not worth the expense of using only once, in all probability.
RE: radiator overheating
a few days ago I swapped the radiator caps on the two GTS. (what is the plural of GTS?)i have to say that I am not smelling the fumes from the antifreeze any more. I assume this does not mean that the cap was the only problem? I still need to see if I lose fluid still. I will try to find some one that has this kit. there are some bike shops open or maybe I can find a car radiator shop that could help. but being august they may all be on vacation. but my main concern is that the radiator is still good. I will change the cap and hose when I change the engine. thanks for the help.

RE: Riding Jacket
Hey Dave. some questions first. 1st How do you ride? Hard and fast? Mostly touring? in city? 2nd what region do you live in? Warm? cold? humid? 3rd are you looking just for a jacket or will it become a jacket/pant combo? Thanks Garrett Welch -- From: Dave Morrow[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Reply To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 11, 2000 8:20 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Riding Jacket OK Guys, Time to educate me again. I'm out looking at leather riding jackets. Any advise as to what qualities I should be looking for brands to stay away from? Would you recommend a jacket with body armour like T-Pro or others? How restrictive is body armour? I don't anticipate any riding in wet weather. I'm looking for some protection for my hide should I go down. Thanks again to all!! Dave 93 GTS Fresno CA.
Re: body mass braking
--- Roberto Alonso [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'll pick on your observation, Roberto. All else being equal, rider mass will NOT affect stopping distance. The more the mass to stop, the more the downforce this mass has and thus increases traction available to stop. This continues until you overpower the brakes or blow-up the tires. This was the day I was awake in physics class... Fl Kev h... not convinced, though I see your point. Next time we ride down The Stelvio pass, you carry all my luggage so you have that extra traction. Oh, you're welcome to give my lady a pillion ride, too. Or maybe not, maybe I'm right after all and someone will go down the side of the mountain. I believe the extra momentum of inertia (not sure that's the correct word in English) WILL account for extra distance coming to a halt. Let's go find a truck driver in San Francisco and ask him about stopping a full load going down Russian Hill. Later! The truck is on bigger tires--less traction due to larger surface area with the same mass, plus, his brakes are probably what will fail. From a PURELY physics point of view--if the brakes can approach lock-up and the tires don't blow--motorcycle tires could stop the russian truck as fast as the GTS. The available stopping ability is DIRECTLY related to the mass by the normal force acting on the tires producing the friction we call traction. My caveat was all else being equal. Tires actually approach adhesive quality now which throws out the friction only math. Tires do deform and brakes may fade but if you try it, you will find very similar stopping distances with different masses. FL Kev __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
