Anybody know if you can/could get larger radiators for a 85/86 atc250r. I have a problem cooling down my 330. I was thinking cr 500 radiators and maybe putting on cr 500 forks. anybody know?

i am running stock 250r radiators on my 500 and i never have a cooling problem,,, are you running 50/50 antifreeze? that could be your problem,,, i quit runnijng antifreeze along time ago,,, i run red-line water wetter only , i always drain my water twice a year anyway,,, so if its going to freeze i just turn the heat up in the garage :D :D :D

do you have the coolers on your radiator hoses? they might help you out. the dual radiators off a dirt bike might be bigger. Idk just some options you might want to look into.

already have them too, I got a 5 fin cooler and a 20 fin. I'm gonna get a 310 pv, trading up the 330, I do mostly mx so, the lighter piston is a big plus, anybody know how well the 265 pv works, that might be the one I'm gonna go for.
