[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 176627, member: 4617"] Have been riding the bike with the lower fairings off, and still no joy. The alternator is positioned far enough out that it should not be impeding the air flow - not a lot of room in there even before the alt install. Where the alt is positioned there was a duct that ran cool air back to the rider so I see no difference in air flow. No real change in the load other than the alt install. One consideration is that the rad has been off and dry for almost two months. Before this the rad was always full and any build up inside would still be a fluid of some kind. Possibly whatever was inside the rad has had time to harden; hence the reduction in cooling capacity. The cooling passages are not that large and it wouldn't surprise me if the crud inside the rad did harden. Will ask the fellow for the old core back and if he agrees, will cut it down the middle for an inspection. Cheers [/QUOTE]
