Zac Posted March 12, 2004 Report Posted March 12, 2004 Does anybody have any experience with any aftermarket radiators? If so how have they worked for you? Have you noticed a large drop in running temp? Quote
DUNEDEMON Posted March 12, 2004 Report Posted March 12, 2004 I've got a PWR radiator in my bike, no problems at all, fit great to which I was skeptical about, 30% more cooling than the standard radiator, the bike never gets above 190 F no matter what I do. Quote
sierrabanshee Posted March 12, 2004 Report Posted March 12, 2004 I have the PWR radiator too and i love it, the quad never gets hot, looks great what else would you want? I had to trim my radiator plastic cover to fit mine but that was my choice, I did not want the plastic to rub on the radiator. Quote
DUNEDEMON Posted March 12, 2004 Report Posted March 12, 2004 Sorry I should have mentioned that I have Fullbore Plastics - no rubbing issues. Quote
brugal Posted March 12, 2004 Report Posted March 12, 2004 A friend of mine has one, hes trying to get me to buy one, he loves it... Quote
wesw Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 i have a toomey rad. right now it liek 40 deg out i have a piece of card board about 5 in tall covering most of my rad so i will warm up. now it gets to about 120 it used to run only 90 deg. now when we go to the dunes in 90 deg weather, mine will run about 160 -180 while the others with stock are at 190+ and having to stop to cool it down well worth it but expensive :flame: Quote

Indubitably Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 anybody know if any larger radiators from snowmobiles fit? i've been looking for a cheaper alternative than buyin a toomey or PWR. i can get a rad for my truck for the cost of one of those and it's not even half the size ? ? somebody out there's gota have a solution Try whiteknuckle racing they started to manufacture their own. I think they are cheaper. I also have a PWR and haven't had any overheating issues since no complaints here. Quote
