Yes I have seen them...someone on here has one on their bike but I can't remember who...
The only problem I can see is that "How would you know how much your temp dropped because now you can't fit a temp gauge on there?"
I plan on putting a ESR temp gauge (is it ESR?...thought it was but now I'm second guessing myself) so once the gauge is on I don't think I'm gonna have room for that cooler...
So I guess that gives me a reason to buy a new radiator?...

Oh my wife is gonna kill me...

a buddy of mine has two 25 fin coolers on his predator. he also has a inline temp guage on it. i think there a hoax myself. even with 2 25 fin coolers he still runs 190+ degrees on the track. i have temp stickers on my ltr's jug and thats what i run for temp riding balls to the wall on the track. are they worth the money? meybe but i would spend my money on something else.

well if there is no proof of any improvement then yah i would wanna spend my money else where, like a stabilizer

 

[medicdad2005]

I have two of them on my LTR and my fan doesn't come on near as much. I also use water wetter.

In theory they should work but I don't know how many degree's they would shed.

I have one on my bike.......If you look closely at Doug Gusts bike he too uses one similar to mine. I paid $20 from eBay and I use Engine Ice. My fan RARELY comes on even with my High Compression Wiseco piston running VP c-12 in it.

so then there is proof? :blink:

 

[BCGIrish]

Here is how I look at it. They should shed some degrees off your bike. That method is used to cool alot of different equipment, very common with electronics. I don't know if it works well enough for the price. I think that would be something you would want a temp gauge to test before and after to find out HOW much of a difference it makes.

Your offical answer is that they should work, and some people have them and like them. I haven't seen any data on them though.

I am considering that/engine ice when I get home personally. For roughly $20 I think they are worth a try if temp is an issue for you.

Well all i'm using right now is using Engine Ice and i don't really know if my fan turns on less, but when it turns the air isn't as warm.

i am more of a weekend warrior but i run it hard, "if your not destroying the machine your not benifiting your health" kind of riding. my fan dose come on but not that much and i randomly will race at the local circle track and a few friends have mentioned some TT (i think, i dont know all the names-to-types) so a larger radiator really isnt my current "to-do" list, but as most of you have said $20 bucks isnt that much for a few degrees in temp, if it really does reducee it. a lot of you are sponcered racers that have been doing a long time so ill trust a season veterian's opinion vs. a salesman/ad/mag. review.

on that i am very appriciative for everyone that does reply to mine and everyone else's product reviews as it helps me in decisions as im sure it does for others.

I have the ESR temp gauge. I will install it and get an idea of what temp it is running at. Then install a PWR and see if it drops ....it better.

:lol: @ "it better"...

 

[Tyler25]

I had two of the 25 fin coolers on my Predator w/ high comp. piston, engine ice, and Polaris 110 octane gas. I noticed that my fan came on less and stayed on less than my race partner's predator w/ same mods and no coolers.

Do you guys not understand that we have a thermostat? So you wont see it any cooler, but it may cool down faster.

Not TOTALLY true!! I don't know what the thermostat opens up at but lets just say it opens at 180 degrees!... Okay, now.... Let's say that your bike CONSTANTLY runs at 210-220 degrees. This means that the thermostat would CONSTANTLY be OPEN! Therefore, having alternate cooling sources WOULD BE benifitial to your quad.

Did you try it out yet, sorry if you already posted the results.

 

[ltr550]

i thought about if i ran into some extra cash- buying a in-line temp. gauge and cylinder temp. sticker and then to make a in line super cooler and see if/how much it cools down;AND THEN maybe buying a large radiator and see how much more it cools down, but i ride trails and backroads(dont race) so i probably wont buy an extra capacity radiator.
