brian_636 love my gloves man.
Just got mine today, so far so good.
brian_636 thanks for the tips I needed it my 07 636 has been running hot and lots of good tips on the video. What kind of clip ons do you run and what degree
Bro I love your videos I'm saving up for a stunt bike but I don't know what too get it has too be lams do you have any suggestions
brian_636 just a little thing I have a degree in engine cooling and maintenance and the reason that your bike is running cooler with more water in the system is because water has a better cooling capebillity sorry for my spelling I'm from the netherlands😅 but the video was really education for my little brother because I'm real bad at explaining love your vids keep up the good work
Brian covered it all, this is high level knowledge and experience he is passing on! ...bike electric fans are notorious for triggering only when way too hot. The fan switch mod is easy guys, piggyback/jumper the wires coming off the radiator to an on/off switch, no cutting of original wires.
Ya Brian is the man!!! I've been watching him for years. He's the only one I watch really. Extremely helpful, down to earth and kills it on stunting. Thanks for the advice with the switch. Totally see what your talking about with the piggy backing. I was just going to run it straight to the battery, but feed into the already existing line sounds easier. I don't have my ecu flashed tho, and ur right about the electric vans mine doesn't come on until around 218 to 220. I'll figure it out. Much love ,636 crew!!!
please explain this! I did a mock up and the wires would spark etc. How do I do this?
I commute daily in Phoenix, averages 100-110 in the summer. Will definitely use some of these tips, thanks
My buddy has a 06 ZX6R 636 and he has the heating problems with his. Were in Arizona, today its 110 degrees out lol. Ill send him this video!

I love watching your channel cause your a big inspiration to me! Watching you convinced me to go by my dream and now i have a 1985 Yamaha vmax! I like the sitting position and if i keep my bike under 5k it wont get away from me
Thanks for the great tips, have a top weekend, from this side of the pond, sounds like a big one. 🤘🇬🇧
Look forward to every video you post. Keep it up and stay true to yourself.
Yo Brian this is BikerBoi904 and I'm new to the channel and so glad I just tuned n and peeped this vid...yo bro I'd just really like to thank u for making this bcuz it's been very informative and so helpful to me at the perfect time bcuz my bike's actually running hot at the moment and I ride an 02' GSXR 750
so she's old school too but runs great other than that so thanks again for all the pointers...I haven't been following but hopefully ur still ridin and if so keep ridin safe my dude and much love to u too...dueces!
This bike is sick bro all ur videos all sick ❤
Now this... this was the video I needed.
Thanks for this video Sir. The tips !! Great
Had to subscribe dope content 💪🏼
save your time. biggest tip. Don't drive slowly. drive fast. so your bike won't overheat.

Kinda hard to do 90mph circles lol
I think thats the problem im having with my R6. After a 15 min ride the fan turns on and then my battery dies and wont turn over after turning it off…
@@garryseinfeld9212 😂😂
@@garryseinfeld9212 that require some special skills to do. unless the square meter area of the venue were wide enough to do 90mph in a circle.
Thank you!
I like your explanation!
I just subscribed.
Very nice tips. Also very cool looking bike :)
First level of engine cooling: oil -- keep the oil level topped off and use full synthetic
If your bike is overheating after repairing hoses. Burp the system by opening the coolant reservoir cap, squeezing the hoses quickly many times to pump the air pockets up and out of the reservoir careful not to burn yourself. Run the bike as you burp (squeeze) the hoses and if the engine temp gets too high shut off the motor and allow it to cool a moment. The fluid in the reservoir may (should) be sucked into the system so just refill as needed.
Most water pumps have a bleed bolt. That’s all that is needed.
Prefect timing, I was just complaining how hot my bike runs at times on these 95+ degree days 🥵
Good stuff I'm a new rider there's always something that I pick up from watching your videos 👍 I have a 2005 Kawasaki ninja 636🤘
Thanks brother
Great video thanks 👌
Very helpful always giving great advice 👍
DUDE! This was Awesome! (Just subscribed =} I got`s me a 99 VFR (V Four} ..which in traffic in Boston, when I`m not splitting lanes, got up to 242 just last week!!!

THank you man!!! Welcome to the family!!!! Glad to have you here now!
I wish I had a bad ass stunt bike to ride around 🙌 very informative and still least favorite 😉
Nice info 👌
Everyone do a fan switch mod. That will above all keep your temps up. Even during wheelies.
100%
Thanks for the tips brian.
Good stuff ,thanks
Good info!
Thanks brother!!!All love
I have a question to you guys that lives at places where water can actually freeze.
When the cooland or water is freeze on the cooling system. Why dont you turn on the bike and the ice would melt. It doesnt work this way?
By the way, this could damage the water pump wings isn't ?
Thanks.
Great video bro.
By the way... i recomend always use coolant instead of water, not just because the antifreeze properties, but for the lubricant properties to the pump.
Would you recommend the header wrap on a sport bike in general. How much of a notice did you see with it ?
Wish YT didn't act up and not send me the recommendation to watch live. That's BS. Good tips man. Ride safe out there and stay cool. Not only for the bike, but you too. I use head wraps that you can rinse and wring out that keep your temp down
GREEN D3ATH that happened to me to
Keep sharing the videos man, that’s about the only way they get spread around. UA-cam has turned its back on this channel
@@brian636 for sure. Much love from Philly. Ride safe out there man
Please explain more.. my bike on this weather 90 degrees goes. Hot like crazy... thanks. Have a good laborday.. bye.....
@@floydpink6238 look it up on Amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B00UR4HHC8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_nlTvFbY56X0T2
Rinse it cold water, wring it out or leave it wet, and put it on around your neck. It'll help keep your head cool. I use it at work too on the really hot days
Never seen this happy I found this cideo
You can modify your ecu to turn the fan on and off at certain temperatures if you have a PV3 👍
What about engine oil viscocity?
Running high vis. Like 15w50 will help or not?
Quick question bro. I use engine ice in my bike I used to race atvs and always used it. But this water wetter stuff how much do you use with water exactly in your bike. I know it says on the bottle but I wanna know what you use and how much to use. My bikes at 150 155 just crusing on a back road about 40 to 45 mph
Do you run both of your fans to a switch or just the one? Thank you
My old r1s running temp was 210. Had to wear long socks and boots every time.
I have a temp gauge on my oil cap. temps peak at about 250F on the highway. that seems high, right? air-cooled, big single
Is your fan going clock wise are counter clockwise when i wire it .. it go different way depending which way
I use engine ice in my 09 Zx6r, but man at 95-100 degrees in Utah summer, she gets toasty and will go to 224 degrees, then it cools down quickly
Did you mix the water with any type antifreeze or is it just 100% water wetter
I have 2015 fz6R and the fan doesn’t come on until 220 degrees recently it’s just operating around 200-215 what can I do?
My stock f4i is still running 220 at lights and stops after replacing the coolant with engine ice I dont get it.
I bought a Ninja 400 do you guys think that if I’m cruising at like 80mph for about 4 hours, do you think I’ll overheat or not?
sup brian 636!!!!! fam god bless you bro thanks for the tips
No problem!!
Will water wetter work on dirtbikes i have a rmz 450 thats overheating
Hey my 1994 zx9 is running hot as I ride what can I do to fix it
Man I was just out driving normal with my 04 and I realized that is getting pretty damn hot.
At what rpm should I be cruising at?? 4000
You still have the Harley you bought?
So I got a 1984 Honda Goldwing GL1200 Interstate, just recently I had to change my radiator however despite filling my radiator (100% coolant which may be the issue) w/ the fan running my engine still appears to be overheating all the while setting off my oil pressure light when I ride. With that being said my oil levels are appearing to be a good levels yet the light comes. I'm suspecting that it may either be a oil pump or even my coolant not going through the engine but I don't even know how I could effectively check those things.
Maybe a bad thermostat not opening up when the motor get too hot can cause issues like that man. You can try engine ice, or other coolants and fans as well.
@@brian636 It's just weird because it only just started right after replacing the radiator..granted it is a ebay radiator
Mine was overheating and I think I was driving without fluid in my radiator I put fluid in the overflow tank insted of the radiator 😢
Bruhh brian s ninja is😍😍😍
Where should I get my stunt parts for my 21’ Zx6r.. tank stunt crash bars etc
cocksstuntparts.com
Good common sense stuff some of the younger guys might not be aware of 👍
Did you wrap your airbox and the cooling thing for under tbe tank?
Yes sir!
You dont use engine ice?
Where'd you get the fans!!!
My dumb ass took a pressure washer to my radiator 🤦🏽♂️ not a good idea. Now I’m replacing it because I’m a moron.
Mine is running 230 if I’m moving. Idk if there’s an issue but I know it shouldn’t run that hot even with idiling at 3rpm
Did you firgure it out my bike runs about the same as your describing
yoo I just bought a 600 f4i and hit temp of like 235, doing grandma city driving, advice? on a cool night like 65 degrees out
Yeah go through these steps
Sounds like bad oil could add on top if you're not stunting. I'd be wondering how old both fluids are at that point. Highest my f4i ever got was 224 after a pretty long sit-down and that was with old old oil. Coolant and radiator were fine. Temp sensor could of had a stroke or something as well not setting off the fan. Only writing this if these tips in the video didn't diagnoss your problem. I truly feel for people dealing with f4i issues at this point lmfao. Good luck and let's check our airbox for oil overflow 😂😂😭
Grandma city driving is also a pretty toasty time js. Less cooling air ya know.
Hey man I’ve gotten my first street bike this month it’s a 05cbr600rr and I’ve been practicing in my works’ lot a bit and noticing it rising to 220ish after a few braking and weaving drills. At idle it’s growing as well. It’s making me super anxious any direction on what I should be looking at?
Hey you ever figure out the problem?
@@RektIsGod yeah I replaced the radiator and it stays around 180now
@@ereHeuqibmazoM you ride in ga?
@@RektIsGod Oregon
Literally doing all of this. I don't want to wrap my beautiful headers at all but I'm doing it. Stunting and overheating regularly will just rip these bikes apart. God damn I'm glad I watched this. I'll have to do quite a bit of work to fit a second fan in but screw it. I'll leave the stock one wired og and put a switch on the second one. My frame gets scolding hot after a 60 second wheelie to a stop light I swear. Thanks a lot for all of this advice.
make sure radiator fan spin when hot and good coolant not cheap one
100%
I would like to cool down the chasis of the bike. It's burning me off.
It’s 100 degrees in Texas my bike cut off on me when it over heated
05-06 636?
My 02 954 rr hit 230 today is that normal
Thanks BEE BEE, my 05 636 is turning off at 200 or above. It starts sputtering an then turns off. Even on the hwy it's want go lower then 190 to 180. An I'm wanting to sell it since I have the CBR now, and I don't want to rip anyone off. Just bcuz others ripped me off when I first started doesn't mean I'm going to do the same!!!! I wish I could keep both bikes, but I needs some money sosss I can start a lawn business. Gotta make that money till I can utube full time. Ya feels me??? I know you do!!! Dude seriously awesome video just what I needed. I would ask ur besty Gixxer bra😂😂 just kidding. I don't think he has any videos showing people how to fix stuff. Alright I'm sounding like a douche canoe with no paddles meow. Love ya my dude!!!
It's the ecu over heating, common problem. Heat wrap the tail and mid pipe
@@Aridrona I have definitely have an undertale exhaust and I have like that buddy of circuit put on for my Yoshi exhaust and when I bought the bike he was saying something about the exhaust heating up that part too much. I think the ECU has been flashed my fan comes on at 2:12. I think I'm going to sell the 636 I'm just going to stunt out my Honda CBR. it's an RR but it has the electronic damper which is nice even though it doesn't really do shit when I'm in a wheelie overall the CBR is just way lighter and only has like 5,000 miles and 636 is sitting at 28,000 miles. going to sell it for 3500 bucks that's what I picked it up for and it's like in perfect shape besides this little heating issue. thanks though yeah I need to heat wrap it
@@Darkened_Moto I also flipped the ecu over the battery and take it out of the rubber thing. I live in az and it seems to have fixed it so far(05 zx6r)
@@Aridrona 4 sure. I see you ride dirt. Man Id be on dirt every day if I could. I wouldn't Want to ride a dirt bike on street Lol maybe an old two stroke 500😂. I miss motorcross!! I wouldn't feel safe on anything but a 600 or above. Too many fast cars messing with me. Just yesterday had a Volkswagen Golf on my tail zooming left N right at me at 130 . Had to exit!!! some little PUNK that wouldn't accept all my hand signals to leave me alone. I think I bring it on myself though. whoever put Bluetooth in a helmet 😂😁👽👽are you kidding me music and a motorcycle and a highway believe I'm going to be dancing it just brings trouble🧐👽😁😁😁
This is the second time I've blown my fork seals.. any tips? XD
chancethegreat2 don’t let the bike slam down from a wheelie 😉
@@CanadianKamoteRider its not just that.. Some good bikes come cheap off the factory for the exact reason of lesser quality arounds like forks or swingarms (see yamaha's tracer or kawasaki Z editions) they have great motors for low cost but the cost is really the quality of the around the chassis stuff.
You just gotta know what your bikes weak point is and get it renewed, and every bike has a weak point that's fact unless you pay 20k+.
Anti-freeze is a worse conductor than water, it cools your engine less efficiently, but you need it if the temperature where you live gets below 0 degrees Celsius, which is the freezing temperature for water (pure). I live in Qatar and the temperature is around 48 degrees C which is 118.4 Fahrenheit. It never gets below 15 C in the winter so I just run 100% distilled water in my bike and it stays relatively cool. Make sure you run pure distilled water and not tap or mineral water because your radiator will get clogged up inside due to electrolysis.
Greasy tips .. Next video about making a stunt bike from scratch.
And also can a 150cc be a stunt bike ?
@DeevoxL mine is a suzuki gs 150 with a pretty cafe racer type body .. like a rigid linear structure and I have no clues on modifications
Stuck with it lol
He has a video of how to build a stunt bike video
@@grantmanahan8996 really didnt know. I'll see
good info but you forgot a very important thing.. put a new thermostat in it, and one that if it fails.. fails stuck open
Wht exact bike is yours?
A 636 man!
Boysen super cooler water pump and a 80 Celsius fan switch Should do the trick.
I took out the thermostat sensor bike never over heat
😂🤣
Because now u have no sensor to detect its overheating 🤣🤣🤣
Kawiboy636 not the sensor in the radiator the 1 in the engine
It’s the 1 dat lets water into one engine to cool it down
Just got a new R6 and it was running at 230 just crusing seems pretty high
Get new coolant in there. 230 cruising is terribly high. In 25mph city traffic, I sit around 210-220 and that's on a stock fan and whatever coolant the last owner had in it. I'm installing two panasonic fans, and getting new coolant in there.
@@RedFox-vu8vt You would think the coolant would be fine it's a 2019 with 500 miles on it
Tim Grossi - do the fans come on?
@@PapaWheelie1 yes they do around 225
That may be normal with the brand new R6’s idk - hopefully someone else with one will see this and know.
What are the outside temps when it hits 230?
All my bikes the fan comes on about 215-220 and then the coolant immediately drops as long as the bike is running. But they are all older - not super lean / low emissions new bikes
Any recommendations on what people should get for their first bike? Had 125cc 6 years ago so it would be a fresh start
Get a fighter jet, they are cheap and good for beginners.
Start on 600 save money and time
Boogazm I think it’s better to start on a bmw s 1000rr
@@melanin_king and dont wear any gears, waste of money.
another way install cold air intake which allow cooler air to suck in the engine
That is a good way as well!

Dont stop
@Dankwheelie
What do you mean by ceramic coating are you talking about Sarah coating or powder coating or a nother type of coating?
😐
🤨🤨🤨
What about removing the thermostat and running 100% antifreeze?
Have you tried this?
Never remove your thermostat
Exhaust removes 40% of the heat. I doubt header wraps benefit at all. Probably best to just buy high quality headers/exhaust system and call it a day. The heat is removed with the hot exhaust gases. What I would add to this video is ensuring and adjusting valve clearance, to ensure proper valve overlap timing. The cool air enters the intake valve and cools the exhaust valve as it passes through during valve overlap, this is what cools the engine. Oh and if the bike is running lean, guess what? You guessed it, overheating and burning out the exhaust valves.
Best to inform yourself on header wrap, wrapping turbo manifolds, ceramic coating (internally and externally), cold air intake isolation on vehicles. Your engineering theory is incorrect on every point you made. Including air and water cooled engines. You have much to learn.
@@TheSummer750 How am I wrong? Inform me.
The easiest way - just remap the ECU while flash to kick the fan at 195. It will never go over 205.
Hi Brian 636 your bike is so cool 😎 and bike life forever I wish I could see you there and hold hands and hug I miss you so much baby and I love you for lif
Dont run house water .... distilled water is the water they recommend
Antifreeze dissipates heat faster than water. I've always ran the non 50/50 mix and have never had a problem.
Nothing transfers heat better than water.
@@Zubberbilly maybe at room temp but 50/50 mix boiling point is higher than straight water
3,4 or 5 thousand grand😭
DISTILLed water. minerals removed= no corrosion. same in batteries, thats what its for.

why dont you have a bike? :((
