What to do if your Harley Davidson is overheating?
Passenger comfort, hot legs, from the rear cylinder and exhaust are usually the issue. You can install an oil cooler to help the m/c run cooler and a cylinder cooling fan to also help cool when standing still.
Where does the heat go in a Harley Davidson engine?
The engine transfers heat to the oil, which then goes through the oil cooler. The cooled oil now goes back into the engine to cool it, and the cycle repeats. Oil-cooling allowed Harley-Davidson to continue using the air-cooled Big Twin engine on its bikes.
Why does my Harley Davidson hard start when hot?
Hard starting when HOT, but the engine spins up fine, means either lack of fuel or weak, no spark. If your Dyna is EFI, your fuel pump is losing prime/pressure due to fuel line leak…look here: http://www.hdtimeline.com/diagnosti…lated/979-engine_dies_and_runs_in_spurts.html
How does water cooling work on a Harley Davidson?
The coolant removes heat from the engine, then goes through the radiator, which uses a fan to cool it, and the cycle starts over. Water-cooling allows engines to operate at a more consistent temperature irrespective of traffic and weather conditions. Why Do Harleys Get So Hot?
Are there any Harley Davidsons that do not overheat?
The dual cooling bikes are not so prone to overheating as the regular air-cooled models. Harley-Davidson and Ducati have taken steps to phase out air-cooling on their models. Liquid cooling was introduced on Harleys in 2014, and more models are getting liquid-cooled engines.
