Radiators are getting scarce, Anyone tried these two models on their 636 yet?

Radiator is on and plumbed



I will post up more pictures and what was needed to get it on tomorrow after I test it out, Just needed $12 worth of stuff from the hardware store.

a radiator is a radiator. its all about fitting under there with everything clearing is the main issue. Of course some hoses modifications might factor in. Of course the size and things like that might make it run cooler or something i dont know. I have an 05-06 636 on mine and beside some spacers in the op mount works fine. I know my duel fans kills my battery so i took the stock fan off and just running an r6 fan and my bike runs about 200-230 usually. still a lil warm but i'll ride until its spewing lol

but still good write up. let me know how it works. i was looking at some older kawi models rads as they are identical to the 05-06

If its spewing your hotter than 230 buddy LOL....

It was 90+ degrees at the lot yesterday and with just one of the fans running it would keep the bike around 205-215, It would jump to 230 if I was drifting for minute or two.

With the second fan on the temps stayed well under 200 even after drift seshions but my idle would drop with the second fan on?

I think I need to pull all my fuses that are not being used? I think I seen duane s say that after he pulled his headlight fuse that idle stayed more consistent.

I'm curious of how you have it mounted and are you clearing fine in endos? I know that's an issue with 0708 zx6r rads. subbed

It clears front tire fine, as far as mounting I used the stock lower radiator mount and just used a longer bolt and double nutted it on either side of the R1 radiator, The upper mounts I just bent them a little bit so they were straight up and down and bought a couple of steel spacers from the hardware store and cut them to fit between the frames radiator tabs and the radiators stock tabs...

I am going to make or modify a radiator cage for it asap, I just needed it on there for the weekend because the 03-04 radiator I had on there wasn't cutting it.

Sweet. How do the upper mounts clear the triple? I have a steel frame with no stops and my lower triple hits the upper mounts on my DCP rad cage...
