Well im having problems with my bike overheating and my friend said he heard of some people running a second radiator. Any one else know about this? Links what they use any kind of info would be great thanks.

did you ever change your thermostat, radiator fluid, or make sure their isn't an air bubble in the coolant system? I think running a second radiator would be a huge hassel and not really get you anywhere except a smaller bank account.

 

yep.. have done all that.. also install a fan on the out side of the radiator, because there no room in a 91 F2 with a 893cc 900RR engine between then radiator and motor. that help in stop and go trafic but still heat up. Also have new waterpump in there. Only thing i though of doing is have the radiator cored out or aftermaket one if i can find one.

 

sounds like you're going to need a higher capacity radiator. they do make racing radiators for popular racing bikes. check into it. as far as i know, there are no "secondary radiator" assemblies you can buy and bolt on.

 

OEM radiators for bikes are pretty cheap....if you have an f2 radiator and are trying to cool a 900rr motor....you are doomed to over heat. Find a 900rr radiator or look for a newer curved radiator...maybe something from aZX or F4 or GSXR....any of them would be $100 or maybe a little less.

aftermarket race radiators are big bucks...

Surf ebay under "heat exchangers"...you might find some nice ones with appropriate inlet/outlets.

Good luck

Maybe wrap your headers to keep some of the heat away from the radiator. Maybe an oil cooler?

 

wrap headers already. found a guy that will let me try his 1000RR radiator out and if it work it will cost me 160$. If not i give it back...... Going to try that over the weekend...
