Aftermarket radiators

(1/4) > >>

Camstyn:
Has anyone tried the cheap Chinese radiators on ebay? I had a set for my Husqvarna and they fit well, but I've heard stories of them not even remotely fitting for some other makes/models. Has anyone tried them for the KX5?

I just picked up a 99 and the rads are mangled.

Foxx4Beaver:
there's a bunch of threads on aftermarket rads on here, just do a search.

Mylers make some really good rads too...

I have some cheap rads on my k5, I found that the radiator mounting brackets kept breaking, usually just top and bottom, just recently I tore the bike down for a rebuild and found another 3 brackets cracked through, (I had only one bracket welded previously) no issues with blowouts or coolant leaks. For the price they are worth it, not sure how old mine are as they came with the bike but 2-3 years for $100 rads ain't too bad.

Camstyn:
I did do a search before posting, maybe I missed something but didn't find the info I was looking for.

I ordered a set, we'll see I guess. If they line up with everything and don't leak then I'll be satisfied for what I paid.

on my mine the only fitment issue was radiator shrouds, where the squeeze tabs mount the
radiator, the holes were a little too big. PO just gunked them in place with some sealer, I'm hoping they've improved on that cause I'm not fixing my rads again. Cost too much!
