Ok...

so im putting a a red head triple into my 94 pogo stick vmax... now my question is cooling.... is this going to be an issue?

i ran this 94 600 with a big bore 700, porting, pipes, etc etc etc. never any cooling issues.

im just wondering will a stock red head triple create a pile more heat?

if so what can i do?

i know the sled has front and back cooler as well as coolers going down the top of the tunnel. run a small rad?
 
I would not think u would have a heat issue but if you could do the same thing they did on the v-max 4 with the rad in the hood.
 
your pogo chassis has almost the identical amount of cooling capacity as the trailing arm sleds and the redhead in my opinion has a more efficient water pump system than the 600 twins.

the running board exchangers on the t/a sleds are almost identical in length as the tunnel mounted exchangers on your pogo sled, but the pogos are about an inch narrower.

one would have to ponder the engineering into the width difference. lets see, the narrower ones are inside the tunnel and constantly have snow kicked at them by a rotating track. the wider ones are mounted under the footboards and are at the mercy of the skis or trail tossing a bit of coolant at them.

mount that sucker in there and think not about cooling issues!
 
If by chance you do have a cooling issue. I've done a few of theses odd swaps and used exchangers from Doo Revs that mount in the top of the tunnel under the seat. I've been able to delete the side and rear exchangers with these with good results. Just an option for you if needed, but some customizing and creative thinking is required.
 
What kind of track, and what kind of riding? A studded track can make a HUGE difference in cooling, it grinds up and tosses ice up from even really hard trails.
 
complast predator for now with 156 studs

just a sled to rip around on hard pack lake

eventually i want to build the engine. but for now ill keep it stock.
