How to run my zip cooler

Hey guys,

My zip 125 4 stroke seems to get hot quite quick, after a while you can defiantly tell with the heat on the back side if you know what I mean..

Any ideas to run it cooler? I've heard of people drilling holes in their air filter box and stuff, but I am not going to do that lol, would a new/better filter do anything?

Cheers.

 

if you drill holes in your airbox, all you'll do is cause the engine to suck in more air, therefore it will run leaner and leaner = hotter.

 

I see, was just going by what I found via google which is why I've asked here instead.

 

Would changing it to something like this work?

You've lost me, what red thing?

 

No mate I've no temp gauge at all so I don't know the real reading just know my back side gets hot after a while lol

 

Ideas, anyone?

 

Just air cooled mate, the air intake pipe is under the foot panel I believe, there is another pipe which is connected to the air filter and runs up into the under seat compartment, not sure of its purpose really.

 

Google can be full of shit with answers - ask somewhere that knows the answer, like here.

 

I am trying

 

You could try a larger main jet in the carb, 4t engines run very lean to get through emission laws, it won't hurt it to go a little larger, extra fuel will help!

 

Thanks Marsh, any idea what the standard 125 jet is?

 

It is an 01, thanks mate.

 

Try an 86 jet and see if that helps.

 

Accy you have an Elyseo and he has a Zip, both completely different bikes from different manufacturers.. How come you are referring to them as the same bike? Or am I missing something..
