Trail tank - impressions

[shadow44]

No need to R&D it...it's been done by Mountain Performance already. http://www.mountainperformance.com/yama ... oducts.htm

That's great and all, but why is there never anything for the guy with a shoty?

Really........that's what I'm saying

My intent is to not hijack this post but i have a wierd concern about the gauge/dash vent. Would'nt the cold air that has just passed through the radiator vent also? I know that after passing through the rad, the air is heated. Has anyone, who has a temp gauge installed and a dash vent installed, seen the temps of the motor decrease? I will be installing 2 in-line coolers and possibly the OFT vent with gauge relocation this off season. Your imput is greatly appreciated. I apologize if I hi-jacked your thread.

I am the inventor/maker of the IP Vent and supply them to OFT as well. Heat rises and the vent lets alot of hot air out. The stock fuel tank does not allow for proper airflow through the rad....trail tank is even worse. Yamaha has been putting rads in sleds ever since they fuel injected them and in the Nytro they put it in a crappy spot. Mine has been deleted in favor of more tunnel cooling. Never had any negative feedback in regards to IP Vents.

I like the idea of the rad delete with an extra cooler in the back. Not having a heat exchanger at the back of the skid guarantees that the Nytro is going to have cooling issues. Putting on rad on the sled should eliminate the risk of over heating in low snow conditions, otherwise what's the point of it?

I think you maybe onto something.. Taking weight away with rad. delete on top of motor and adding a heat exchanger in back of tunnel will reduce ice buildup. That alone would be a significant improvement, not to mention balancing the sled more evenly. I'm all for it, now let's see who can do some R&D and comeup with a nice clean design of rear heat exchanger. Ulmer Racing, OFT?

MPI (mountian performance inc) have them for the MTX....not sure if they fit the XTX, but should be adaptable. Search rad delete on TY and you'll find qute a few.

Quick question, I have an xtx that I added trail tank to last season and also noticed it ran hotter. Found a leak in my rad, unrelated to trail tank, but just wondering if the mtx rear cooler is enough added cooling to delete the rad?

Their ad says it will, or can run both

I'm running a mountaintech tunnel cooler (larger than the MTX by a bit) and have deleted my rad, sled runs nice and cool. Only time I've had overheating issues was running a very hard pack road for a long distance, if I would have had scratchers, I probably would have been fine.

I'm not sure if Mountaintech is still selling heat exchangers. I don't see them listed on his website. I wouldn't run it anyways without the radiator installed because it's still on the small side but the MPI looks like it has enough capacity to dissipate enough heat in most all conditions without the radiator.
