Enduroadventures Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 2016 1190r with a serious overheating problem. If I keep up speed it’s never an issue. Technical trails in the summer heat have cause a severe fuel geyser. Did a coolant flush and the problem started right after. Assumed air bubble but I have now flushed approximately 12 times including 5 times at a dealership. Radiator has been pressure tested no leaks. Gas tank vents. Anyone have any suggestions? Called Ktm and they said they have never heard of a bike having a fuel geyser, I have personally seen it on a 2014 1190. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyNuke Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Fan and temp switch function normally?Can you install a manual fan switch as well as temp control switch?Airflow obstruction from an aftermarket part?Tried different coolant like engine ice?(although this is proba boy a band aid and actual problem needs to be found)Possible bad head gasket or tune problem generating too much heat?Hope something helps, I haven't heard of too many problems with these bikes for heat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enduroadventures Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Both fans kick on so that seems to be working properly. I am currently running Evans coolant, water pump looks good and I had my head gasket checked at a dealership with no issues found. I swapped back to stock parts that could possibly have impacted air flow but that didn’t seem to be it either. I definitely appreciate the help, I’m lost at this point.
