Rear Heat exchangers on MTX

[MountainMax]

On my 2002 Mountain Max there is a small heat exchanger in the rear of the tunnel, i noticed on my MTX there is only a tube there for transfering coolant from one side to the other, are there coolers available here for them?

Yes ,its call the U-Cooler, I have one on My Apex ,Bought here in the classifieds.

is that aftermarket, i don't see it listed on the yamaha site accessories.

Have you had overheating problems with your Apex? If not I would leave it alone. On the Rx1s and Vectors Yamaha ended up putting out a rear exchanger kit for the early models (pre 2005) because of heating issues, but the Apex added the radiator. I had some issues with my 2003 RX1 and added the kit, but I have never had any issues with the Apex. Not worth the expense IMO.

i agree,i have been running without the rad,or a rear cooler on my mountain ape for about a thousand kilometers with no heat issues
run scratchers if needed

 

[MountainMax]

where is a good place to buy some scratchers that i don't have to remove any wheels to install?
