The KOYO radiator was fitted in my R3 on Saturday. The quality and workmanship is remarkable.
There was a very minor elongating of one of the fan shroud assembly mounting holes, (1/32") necessary to line up the mounting point on the Radiator. Aside from the minor shroud adjustment and the extremely tight fit
of the radiator itself, the install went well and without a hitch.

Nice, hope to see some pics of the install!

jtspells I'm resizing the pictures to a more web friendly size and will post them.


Paimon.soror we did not measure how much coolant drained out, however we did
installed a little less than 2 gallons, to be exact, 7.6 quarts.

jtspells 06-20-2012 08:50 PM

Large decrease in coolant temp?

Nice pics BTW

I will install a gauge to track the temp.
