Twin rad

[gareth_iowc]

Any suggestions on what to use for a twin rad setup on the dt?

Thanks

Dt230 for dtr the Lanza is near straight swap on the re just needs one bracket made up. I have only done the Lanza conversion. There was zero noticeable gains. Ran hotter if anything. Be nicer to have some ally rads.

The engine ran hotter or the rad temp was higher?

[gareth_iowc]

Awesome thanks.

Only reason was with the yz engine i no longer need the oil tank and that leaves a massive gap. Not sure what todo ATM. The Lanza rad appears to be a rare beast.

If you don't need it, you could always save the extra weight

YZ 1989-96 rad? WR200 filler side rad is a good upgrade? Chunky core in the them

[Calum]

The engine ran hotter with a Lanza rad. The second rad was purely a gimmick for me. It's got a tiny core and capacity. Doubt it actually cools the engine.

@gareth_iowc There's some decent ali rads to be found on ebay dude.

I like these , looks strong enough even without frame but Im afraid about the clearance between expansion chamber, tank etc...

Having these in watchlist for some time...

That's what I tried to fit. At the top of both rads there is an outlet to join them. On the yz there is a gape in the frame but on the dt there is not. I didn't fancy drilling the frame.

I have a r/h radiator from a Dt200r. Reasonable condition bit someone painted it dark blue. Doubt there is much benefit from it because it's capacity is tiny

[Calum]

@Zrako Yeah but that is on my brothers YZ?

[Zrako]

@Calum I dont know , found the pic on google. Might be

[Calum]

@Zrako No, lol, that is my brothers YZ.

[Zrako]

@Calum cool mate , will be great to make a tutorial for us how to fit them on the dt Just when he not looking take them off

[Mightyman]

@Zrako, @gareth_iowc already mentioned why they won't fit without modification to the frame. That picture you showed is Calums brother YZ.. nothing to do with the DT.

@gareth_iowc Just get a big fat ali one dude, Yamaha spent millions designing the bike, if they decided that a single rad was all that was required, then who are we too argue???

[Calum]

@CYBER-NINJA They also made the bike to a budget. So it is possible to improve the bike in areas

[NINJA]

@Calum Very true, but you have already stated that having a second rad has not improved the engine cooling, so why go through all the hassle if it's not gonna make much of an improvement???
