Ebay oversized ASI performance radiators - Yamaha YFZ450 Forum : YFZ450, YFZ450R, YFZ450X Forums

I want to do this parts review on the Ebay oversize radiators. ASI performance makes these products. I have been running the $25 dollar ASI colored silicone hoses for over 2 years now and I have to say they are awesome products.

I recently HAD to purchase a new radiator for my 04-08 yfz. I had seen these before but was always skeptical at first. They are around $98 shipped from overseas (usually). I recieved my radiator in 6 days which is GREAT for international shipping.

My ASI radiator came packaged great. It also came with billet sensor plugs (for bikes with no fan). I run a fan but i have it wired into a switch so these plugs were GREAT for styling. I must add the mounting holes for the fan were off so i had to drill a new hole for the lower bolt. Also they do not come with the plastic guard mount tabs i just ziptied mine on. The radiator came polished (chrome finish look). Iam very happy with my purchase at this time.

Overall i rate 4 stars just because the mounting tabs for the guard and the fan mounting holes.

Here is the link for anyone looking to purchase. I forgot to mention the radiator was a huge difference in stock (size). It made the stock radiator look like crap. It has 2 (dual) coolant passages and is 30% bigger capacity

I have to dissagree with this review!I went through 2 new asi radiators only to have both have pinhole leaks in the core.They did however send me the second at no charge,then after that was leaking,refund my money in full and let me keep both radiators and the silicone hoses.I ended up going with a boss radiator and had no problems.

Did you have to send them proof of them leaking and them being a overseas company i know shipping back and forth would be a pain

Both times sent pictures and a short video of the pin hole leaks.
