LexZeus,
normally, 2b class bikes dun get overheated easily. It's the bigger
cc bikes that get overheated more easily. Sometimes, they even have
to shut down their engines for it to cool off and then restart
before they move off. But for 2B bikes, overheating shouldn't
happen.
What kind of bike are you having ? Did the dealer tell you the bike
takes a coolant liquid or just plain water cooled. Some bikes need
coolants, like mine. Some are water cooled. If yours is water
cooled, you can top up with plain water, but if yours need coolant
and you pour in only water ... well I never try that, dunno wat
will happen. Check what kind of cooling system your bikes needs. If
you need to top up coolant, you can get Castrol Radicool at any
petrol kiosk. You dun have to mix with water. Just buy and top up.
It's already mixed peoperly for you. And please, no coconut juice
for coolant hor ....
By the way, I was caught in a jam for about 15 to 20 minutes. But
my temperature never rose beyond 1/4 of the scale. It is not normal
for temperatures to go up to 3/4 of the scale, not that I know of.
I think you better take your bike to a workshop and ask them if
they can help you. You already smell something burnt. Best to ask
them to check if there's really anything burnt or not. Dun overlook
a heating problem. One of these days, if your bike catches fire
.... let's hope not ....
