      @rogering It will make a difference, purely in maintaining engine temperature for longer. Having a second rad cools more water for the cycle, but only when there is sufficient air flow.

      For off-roading, I didn't notice gains.

      Also, being a smaller combustion 125cc, it actually gets air cooled considerably.

      I only did it because I could...

      Keep it real

        Ah sweet do you think having a pressure cap on both rads would be a problem shouldn't I'd expect

          I run DT230 Lanza rads. Straight swap, didn't really notice any benefit.

            I'm just gonna do the upgrade coz I can and I think if I'm doing 25+ miles either way off-road the extra cooling should benefit me then, I have a rad off some sort of a rieju I had in the deal I took the dtr 2t tank of and the rads identical sizes with the tubes in the perfect position ready to cut the pipe but not before I tak the washers for the 2 brackets
            The main question I'm asking you knowlageable guys is... would it matter if both rads had pressure caps ?? Or do I really need to rehab it to remove it IDK ?????

              I don't think 2 caps would have a problem

                I personally don't think it's worth the extra weight but two caps wouldn't cause an issue.
