Wow, am I totally off base, the old models were air cooled were they not?
The Banshee's have been around for 20 years, and very well loved by many. I will not deny thier numbers, there are a couple used ones I am looking at for something different here and there. Maybe they have improved thier system from what I was speaking to. I don't think you can ever go wrong with a larger radiator, or more air flow, or increased water through the pump. My attempt was to point out we are comparing apples to oranges in comparing the DS to a Banshee. Is one Design better then the other, maybe or maybe not. Can any design be improved on? Must be the case, or Alba, ODP, HPR, and Pami better prepare for Bankruptcy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
I know when I rode at Sand Mt Nevada, it was about 100 degrees outside and I was just dunning. Fan was coming on and off, but nothing too bad (my opinion) When riding Oregon, it may kick on once or twice in the weekend. Based on that knowledge, I too would wonder if we may be masking a seperate problem that could cause bigger issues. I myself would rather fix a problem then mask it, but again that is just my opinion.
