I've tried the 929 radiator on my f4i. The fan mounting tabs hit the headers. I opted to run the F4 radiator. The only difference is the overflow tube locates to the front of the cap on the F4.

i have a 929 on my f4i right now. you need to make a bottom mount for the rad its not that difficult and you need to trim the top fan support. the over flow isnt a big deal you can get it too work in any position. ill post pics tomorrow for ya richie if you would like. yes, no?:YEAH

929 radiator will work just fine... all you have to do is flip the lower bracket that mounts to the motor. And in order to flip it you have to notch a piece out of it and bend it the other way. And get a longer radiator hose that goes to the pump.

you have to use a 929 hose too. from the pump i forgot i changed mine.

On the subject of F4i radiators (threadjack) ,When its hot out like it is my bike overheats quick in the lot. Anyone have this problem? running two fans?

And on the 929 radiator fit(good job)

no problems at all. 90+ degrees in the lot all afternoon and my f4i doesn't even run the fan all the time, it kicks on them kicks off.

you probably have something wrong with the cooling system. check for air, or do a flush, if it has crappy fluid or water then it probably has mineral build up inside.

forgot to mention, i've noticed that my bike runs hotter as the oil wears out. keep the oil fresh and clean and it should run cooler since it's actually lubricating and not just in there for no reason.

Herb

Thanks Jeff. I was thinking the same thing that it was air trapped somewhere. And yes it is probably a good time to change the oil now.

i used the 929 radiator and used the 929 hose, made my own bracket and used the f4i fan

my bike is always hot even during the 518 ride it was pissing coolant out of the cap when we stopped.

Herb

My bike is not running unless its spewing coolant. Everything was fine till I changed to a F4 radiator(same thing) so I am not going to blame the radiator.

I run engine ice nad usually keep my fan on most the time - runs great .... when i was running honda coolant and didn't have a fan switch it always ran hot as hell
