Anyone have any information on the second radiator kit Yamaha sent us the kit with no instructions or diagrams whatsoever! Any help much appreciated Merry Christmas!

I am helping a friend who grooms for his ski club with overheating problems on his 2006 VK and have ordered the secondary additional radiator kit to help solve the problem. Yamaha has supplied the Kit ,,,,now almost $1300 but for that price you do not get any install or layout instructions...

Yep. Thats the way to go. May as well do the extra work and replace the seals and bearings....its what I was going to do in the off season but we still have a little riding left hopefully. Thanks again Mark

Thanks. Definately works - did about 3000 miles in just about every condition, Been lucky as all fixes including exhaust, W arm and steering seem to have held up. Best Regards Mark

Exhaust hanger retro fit Sorry just saw this post after posting a solution that I did last season. Check out the post http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php?t=78276 It has worked well after about 3000 miles.

Last Season after replacing the famous doughnuts twice, replacing the cracked Titanium Y pipes with Stainless and repairing the Y connection where the muffler meets the Y pipes, the combined effect of all the throat lubrication (Low Temp Stella) I got through while doing these jobs caused me to...
