Has anyone done this yet to the 03 636!?
ok.....i went through 2 radiators on my 03 636....tabs kept braking off just from riding the damn thing...so i put an 06 600rr radiator on my bike a while ago and it is hell of alot bigger and fits in full fairing.....
heres all the lines I had to extend
on this next pic there was a hose going to this spot, which is the thermostat housing from the radiator....take it out and put a bolt in it and put some kind of seal on the bolt and run it in to plug it.....
and heres the final view.....
thats it.....honestly do not need to buy radiator cage with this radiator.....the mounts are beefy, fan sounds like a turbod sewing machine!, its alot bigger than stock, it bolts in, and stays a hell of alot cooler....didnt know if anyone has done this but its the best mod i ever did on this bike....

u coulda just solve4d that by either A) reinforcing the rad fromt he beggining or B) buy a damage control rad cage...pretty sure u can even use the rad cage with a broken rad

looks like you might have to trim the ears on the stock upper where they drop down in front of the radiator a little if its thicker but it would be easy and you could probably get away with trimming the top of the v down a little instead of removing it ..
if i happen to come across an 06 600rr radiator i might do this ..thanks for the pics

i tell ya what else , my buddy has an 06 gsxr 750 and when his fan comes on and your standing next to the bike your pants blow in the wind , 636 fans dont move near that much air ..
i would like to try an 06 750 fan on my bike to see if it cools better during drifting and burn outs

i think he runs two fans , i dont really need two it just gets hot when im doing burnouts or drifting alot , if i just ride around in a high gear it cools right off but it would be cool if i didnt have to even do that
