over heatin i think

[baza]

lads started the blaster let her heat up 4 ten min r so, then took the her out around the block maybe 5 min on the road, got back to house and it seemed to me it was give alot more heat than any other day,whats the right temp and how do i check it. could i put a temp gage on her and how.its a 2006 blaster stockish

Only thing that comes to mind is an infra-red gauge like is used for RC cars. Far as safe temp my guess would be 200 or so.
Check your plug, might be running lean.

pyrometer would work best. shoots a laser and measures heat where the laser is pointed. Around 200 i believe.

Really 200* is that F or C??? My 75 JDX8 temped at 260*F and its a 2 cylinder.

 

[hudack]

what does stockish mean what is doen to it

 

[Surfrjag]

200f i dont think your jdx8 operates at 350*f

 

[Deerslayer89]

I was mistaken, i think it was 260* its been a year since i messed with it.

 

[super noober]

after good hard riding my head usually reads around 220-240*F

 

[Larry's Shee]

I was being consevative, probably best if he checks his plug for lean condition if he thinks it's running hot and hadn't noticed it before. Long hard ride properly jetted is a lot different than 5 min around the block.

 

[UncagedShadow]

yes right above 200 with spot on jetting and hard riding. Also dont quote me on this but if you have a toomey pipe your temps should be higher maybe like 250-260ish. I've read that toomeys run hotter.
