If you keep getting the OEM replacements make sure they do not come with plastic endtanks like the OEM rad is equipped with. they are weak and especially on a GSR will have problems. also check to make sure the rad cap (probably cheap) isn't leaking or failed. Metal endtanks are best, and unless you are a building a monster engine, you do not need a Fluidyne.
Thanks for the information! I hope I don't get that good at replacing these things!
Both of the rads I have installed have been non OEM parts, one with plastic endtanks and one with metal.
Given that you are on your 4th rad, did you do any checks to make sure that nothing else was wrong, such as a head gasket or something like that? Given the additional leak from the small pipe coming out of the Water Outlet Cover, I am concerned that this is a symtom of a bigger problem.
Thx.
