nytro venting and cooling ideas

[rough rider]

whats everyone doing to help with the airflow and cooling of the nytros, adding vents, coolers, extra fan, ??

I have seen guys make big vents in the hood, just under the headlight like the factory sleds. I ran into some trouble with my Nytro at the end of last winter, the trails where icey and she kept getting hot. I just wired my fan on a toggle switch so its on all the time, I haven't rode it yet to see how well it works tho.

did you try diluting your coolant first>>>????

I have BR (tech vents and w rear heat exchanger

I added some vents, as well as drilled some extra holes. Here's a good thread on Nytro overheating ideas and solutions: http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php? ... ts&start=0

I have some pics on the fourth page. Obviously, I haven't had any riding yet to see if it helps or not.

you could try the air frame hood from sled solutions, as an option, its not as nice as the factory hood though

Grimm did you make that vent in the hood or buy it ? How much was it and were from ? Looks good .

I like the idea of this hood but IMO they missed the price point by about 200 bucks!

So, what's the deal here, does Yamaha make a rear heat exchanger kit for the Nytro XTX?

Thanks..

There is a "MTX rear heat exchanger kit" available for the RTX.
This kit should also fit the XTX, at least I have heard nothing else...?
Part number 8HA-124A0-00-00.

I got my vents from here: http://www.xxxmodrods.com

I think the hood vent was about $35, not sure though.

I'm going yo dilute the coolant and add the wetter water,b4 I drop more$ into a heat exchanger or hack my hood apart (as I see alot of peeps have). I tested the coolant the other day, its right off the scale, my tester only goes to -45 C. My cars coolant is good to -42, It starts in Timmins no problem, why Yamaha puts straight coolant in is beyond me, maybe they want the sled to be able to run on Baffin Island.
IMO try the $20 fix b4 you go crazy and drop alot of $.
I'm curios though to how many solved the over heat problems with just diluting and adding water wetter?
time will tell 4 me

I already cut down the coolant strength, didn't stop the overheating.

It won't stop... YOu need to add a cooler. I did the same thing on my Apex and it was the only thing that worked.
