My bike is a 06 yz250f its getting very hot .

Its overheating and the hose above the waterpump is swelling a lot.
and when it gets hot is starts running like junk NO POWER BARLY
at all. and my antyfreeze says its premix 50/50 but it looks real thick so do i mix it 50/50 or dose that mean its allready mixed.dose this bike have a thermastat like a car? and could it just be cloged up. or do u think its the water pump.

    did you recently change the coolant on this bike and the problems started after this coolant change?



    50/50 on the bottle usually means its already premixed.

Just open up your radiator kick it with the top off to get air out of the lines, also with the cap off pinch the hoses to let air out too...

yzf's run hot make sure you dont idle it for long times, because you need air going into the raiator to cool the coolant...

The thermostat is stuck closed replace it and the problem is fixed. I would recommend replacing the hose as it has been weakened from the swelling and overheating.

1995 mitsubishi Galant 2,4 v6 overheating replaced thermostat and flushed system fine for a while with some rise in temp at times now pressurising water out header tank and temp gauge does not move above...

a few things to check before we condemn it as a leaking head gasket(pressurising water out).
First check the radiator cap seal,no cracks and that it takes some pressure to push the spring loaded part down.
Does both the top and lower radiator hose get hot as temp gets to normal(where thermostat should be open).if not,the thermostat may be a faulty one or has slipped out of seat as the cover was bolted back down onto it.(temperature will differ either side of it).I have had some of these come in with part of the waterpump impellor rotted away.same symptom of one hot and one cold hose,and water doesnt flow inside radiator with cap off(ensure this is not removed if engine is hot)and temp where the thermo should be open.
Possibly the radiator needs sending out for the top or side tank to be removed and each tube cleaned out.this is a lot more effective than trying to reverse flush with water only.
But if temp is normal these areas should be fine.
Do the hoses swell with pressure and become hard to squeeze in a short time?this could reveal a leaking head gasket and should be tested with a teekay type tester for the presence of cylinder gases in cooling system.
Do the fan(s) come on if sitting idling at normal temp for 5-10mins?water can be pushed out if they dont come on or their cut in/out temp is incorrect.hope this helps.
let me know some times re when it pushes water out,do you hear a boiling sound from inside engine or radiator when this happens,any other info that may help diagnose.

Overheating on a 1990 jeep lardeo new waterpump

Assuming you dont have a blown head gasket the most likely thing is a clogged radiator. Lee
