grill air flow?

[VictorK]

Ive been wondering if anyone has a temp gauge on their shee and changed to a after market grill and noticed what the running temp difference is because I feel like some grills kill the cooling a bit but i could be wrong?

I did.... got the same reading from stock to the modquad slotted one 180 on a 74degree day I just did the same trail facing the same way with both grills, than shot the radiator. I did put a small piece of black tap because temp guns wont read anything accurate if its shiny, I always wondered that to in fact before I got my grill I looked for some thing with good flow but smaller slots I didnt want rock ruining my oversized billet rad. heres pics of my grill youll have to look threw a few to find it. http://s682.photobucket.com/albums/vv182/mattrentz_2009/Yamaha%20Banshee/

Thanks its funny how the amount of air gets restricted but it stays the same temp maybe the radiator can only cool so much and the amount of flow you lose doesn't change it
