I just got from deployment about 3 wks ago!!! Thank god im home finaly!

but anyways i went down to fl this weekend so i can get my 7 (and so my friend can pick up the harley he bought off of me) it was great bc when i first got her i had problems starting her, but that was fixed the last time i was at my sisters house, we i got in and turned the key and she started right up i was so happy. i drove her from gainesville fl to fayettevile nc with very problems. she is over heating a lil but once on the road and moving i dont have a problem so i kept on truckin. the only thing that sux is she gets 18 mpg on the highway but that might be bc i was going 80 plus most of the time i get some pics up soon it was a good ride.

all i need to do is fix the small overheating problem!

 

your name is similiar to mine.. sorry nothing to do with the thread. But this is my third and last 7

 

thats awesome i dont know why i ever i sold my 1st one i wish i never did but i got this onw so its better

 

Sounds like a thermostat or clogged radiator. Whic I wouldn't be surprised since it sat for awhile...

 

wehen i came home on my 4 day pass i changed out the t-stat, radiator, upper and lower hoses, and i put block weld in the cooling system.

i put 2300 cfm e-fan on the radiator.
when i can get around to it im pulling the air pump off and add i dual alt belt pully but i dont think that is an issuse right now.
i have anftermarket cheap over flow tank rightn ow too im going to the salvage yard to today to get a new cap for my oem one hope that will help.

 

On the bright side, you got home safe and in one piece from deployment. That's the really important part! As the saying goes - "the rest is just background noise".

 

absolutly i am glad to be home and too be newly wedd.
im going to do a break down in the next few months if money permets and do a port job on it.
i just need to find some really good water jacket o-ring and i ll be good to go and only after i install my new dellorto that i got a few weeks back
