Air cooled or Water cooled and why???

I have the 37mm FCR, you should pm me...I can share something really secretive...and really AWESOME about those.

In 19 years that has never happened to me and I still have the original hoses on it.

Damn, why in the world would someone ride on the original hoses for 19 years?????? Thats almost as bad as running the original oil for 19 years. I would keep that to myself.


Please, if anyone else rides your R let them know the hose can burst at any second and disfigure them for life.

[Dammit!]

It's not that big of a deal. We're not talking about the same temperatures and pressure that a car would be running. I've seen people have rad caps come off in the dunes and it didn't gush out like a car would. I would have replaced them by now if they were available but they're discontinued. I have several sets of used ones laying around but I see no reason to change them. No signs of weakness anywhere. My trikes get thoroughly doused with armor all and wd40 on a regular basis and I never run straight water in the rads so they never have a chance to dry out.

Actually you know what, I take part of that back. Now that I think about it, 4 years ago I changed three out of the four hoses. The last one was unavailable. I can't remember which one now.
