Coolant and thermostat have air bleeding hoses which need to be routed to a breather tank. if you understand the coolant system is very likely you'll end up having no air at all in our system, even when filling up the system. radiator angle,debris and mesh grid do affect cooling efficiency. having he radiator fail is near impossible IMO. On the R1 bike, the front tire and wheel fairing do block airflow . For this reason I think the rad is oversized and I wouldn't be suprised the rad position in front of the engine in the tR1ke would be acceptable and would save expensive rerouting of the hoses and the additionall breather tank. it would exell in simplicity In worst case scenario, as like in the Eco-exo design, it appears to be working well which give food for thoughts.

Hi Eric
I am in the proses of moving the rad to the rear but not in front of the motor, the airflow from the bonnet directs the airflow quite high so without some sort of ducting there wouldn't be sufficient air flow to cool it. The rad would still be lower than the thermostat so a header tank would still aid filling and bleeding the air out, unless you have the rad at roll bar height.

Hi Chris,,, The email I sent to you was returned w/this explanation. chris@media116.com (reading confirmation): 550 Rejected by content scanner (CMAE). See mailreport.co.uk/FAQ/CMAE_PreFilter for an explanation. Fingerprint is <v=2.1 cv=e8Q/F8Z/ c=0 sm=0 tr=0 I suggested you look on p.9 of my build in TN. for another way to replenish the radiator. It's working well. I'm sure the guys on this forum will help you solve any problem you encounter. Good luck & take care.

Hi Seabee,
Not sure why your email got bounced back, you used the right address. Ah well, not to worry, I'll check your build thread, and thanks very much for trying. Yes, the owners on here are certainly a friendly and helpful bunch, so I'm sure I'll get things sorted. Still hoping that it's something as minor as an air lock...we'll see!
Cheers,
Chris

Posting pics:
When you want to reply to a thread and post pics, make sure you use REPLY and not QUICK REPLY.
When in the REPLY box you see many more useful icons, the one you are looking for is the right hand batch of icons where the Smiley face is. Click on the icon 3rd from the left.
This brings up a box asking for a HTTP://
This is wanting a picture, but you cannot simply paste a picture from your computer in here. You need to open an account with something like Photobucket, Picsa some online photo sharing experience. You upload all your pictures to this.
Once your pictures are on the photo sharing webpage you need to find the DIRECT LINK for that image. On photobucket you move your mouse over the image you want and a COG gear appears top right of that picture, click on it and then click on the GET LINKS.
Now simply left click on the line that says DIRECT
It should say COPIED briefly and then show the text that was there before.
Now go back to the forum, if the box has dissapered then click on that icon again, 3rd from the left.
I would suggest deleting all the HTTP:// in the box, to make sure its gone and then either Right click and paste, or use CTRL and V to paste, or if on a Mac use CMD and V
Now click INSERT IMAGE
You will now see a long string of text, and to test if it has worked click on the PREVIEW tab on the bottom left of this box. If you want to add more pics, go back through this procedure.
If its just one picture then click the button on the bottom right of this box CREATE POST.
You should now have posted a new reply and your picture should be displayed.
The procedure is exactly the same for CREATE A NEW THREAD
Cheers
Nick
