3/4"
MrCuervoRacing makes an early-on fan thermostat, turns fan on at 200 degrees f, and mounts in the upper hose.
I have one and it works very well.
The fan should not be coming on that often as long as you're moving, unless it's a very hot day.
I have an inline cooler in the lower coolant hose, Engine Ice coolant, Spal fan(440cfm), Mishimoto radiator(30% larger), air scoops, Vapor dash with 2 temperature lights, and a bigger aluminum oil tank that holds another quart.
These are all the mods you can do to the cooling system, but they work great.
My Vapor dash has memory, and the hottest my 700 has been is 217f, ideling after riding hard on a mid 80's high humidity day, I watched it move up slowly from 211f when I stopped.
Pretty big improvement considering the stock fan doesn't turn on until 225...and
I didn't even have the oversize radiator then.
The cooler it runs, the longer it'll live.

 

Hi, Omar here from UAE.

Can you please guide to were I get my hands on all the stuff you just mentioned (Mishitmoto, thermostat, inline cooler, and Spal fan). I can't find the Mishimoto anywhere, and I heard that there are fitment issues with those?

Thanks, appreciate your response.

 

Thanks @ sixpack577, I bought two of the 2020 raptors about a month ago and have noticed my sons bike seems too run the fan a lot more than mine does. Neither one of us has ever had the heat light come on, but just seems odd.
I’ve seen the early fan on assembly from Mrcuervo, and thinking on that, it looks like a great product. Only thing is, now everything I buy is x2! [emoji16]
Was thinking about a gauge for each bike and then to wire in a switch to turn on fan when desired.

Maybe he rides harder than you do, so the fan runs more??
I'de swap machines and see.

 

I thought of that, but we rode pretty close, “he can out do me though he’s 14 and light” but I’m about 240# and figured my machine was working harder. Going to get a hand held temp laser and see what’s happening. Will probably go ahead and order those 3/4 gauges though! New Mexico gets pretty hot in the summer.

I am a bigger guy around 280# and ride my 08 raptor pretty hard, if you do narrow trails like I mostly I highly encourage the early on fan kit, it's a pretty easy install too which is nice. MrCuervo was a huge help to me when I rebuilt the engine on my raptor he seems to care about what he sells and helps those who support him which I definitely needed.

 

Thinking I may go that route. I’ve never talked to Daniel at Mr quervo racing, but have watched his videos and placed some orders from him. Wouldn’t have to worry about temps if I put that on! Thanks for the input.

I run a stock fan, but my fan comes on at 200*. I have a temp gauge/radiator cap and when the fan does come on the temp in the radiator drops about 40* in a few seconds. Only time I get worried is in a mud race when the radiator gets alot of mud in it and blocks airflow. The early on fan kit sold by Cuervo is dead on. I measured it with an infrared thermometer and it kicked on at 200*.

 

You could always buy a larger double row radiator. Cheap and you get a much thicker radiator. $69 on Ebay, I run one on my 07 The tanks are welded on instead of crimped like the factory one.

 

What are your temps running?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

Mishimoto is $155 with a lifetime warranty and is 30% larger.
Hard to beat for the money.

 

Didn’t that radiator require a few mods to the fan to fit?

 

Thanks for all the input, I think I’ll put another order into the doc for the early on kits!
Anybody running an inline gauge with the kit?

I also have a Vapor, and it's temp sensor is mounted in about the same place as the temp gage would go.
There is enough room in upper hose.

Cuervo thermostat towards rear, Vapor thermostat in front.

 

Man that looks good sixpack! I see you have the inline cooler as well. Are you running the bigger radiator too?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

Yes, the Mishimoto, just not in the above picture, but here it is.

 

That’s a big difference! I just ordered 2 kits and 2 inline mechanical gauges,and that radiator will be next, but down the road. Would you ever have a problem with under cooling in cooler weather with all these add ons?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

No, it will run warm enough, and if you're riding in that cold of weather you probably need cardboard in front of the radiator, lol.

 

Hey sixpack, where did you get your aluminum oil tank?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

CFM makes it, ebay.
They make it with and without the cooling tubes, I got it with them, as it can't hurt.
They are not visible in the side veiw picture as they run front to back, 2 tubes welded in for air flow for more cooling.

 

Looks like it would be an easy install. Was it pricey?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

Yeah both, pricey at $250, and it is easy to install.
I had all these parts and then some in mind and bought before I got the 700, other than the radiator.
So I knew what I was in for ahead of time, but I only had to buy them once, lol.

 

Did you buy a couple of these yet?
This is TMDesignworks

 

Yes sir, I did the tm on both bikes right away with Xgrid skid plates!
My son picked the 700r se

They look good together.
I have that same funk green bastid you do, lol. Only mine is almost solid black now.
I swapped the tank cover, hood, and rear fenders with black Maiers already...and fronts are now on their way!

Lol![emoji23]
My son doesn’t like the green on the tank either , he wants more black. I’m sure we’ll be doing the same in time!

Geez Sixpack, you're popular lol

 

lmao...leave us old guys alone

 

MrCuervoRacing for the early-on fan thermostat, contact through facebook and buy on ebay.
ebay or amazon for the Spal fan and inline cooler.
www.mishimoto.com for the radiator.
I have a mishimoto radiator thread with all the details and bracket modifications, I will link it here if I can.

 

Hi Sixpack577,

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it.
However I wanna ask do you really think the inline coolers are worth it?

And can you please link me up with the Mishimoto Radiator thread, I can't find them anywhere, I have a 2016 Raptor 700, do you need to do alot of modifications to make it fit?

Thank you

 

And may I ask is this the model you got for the Mishimoto Radiator for your Rapator 700, I saw your other threads, you have a great setup!!.

The only Mishimoto radiator I found was for a 2006-2012 raptor 700 with this serial number MMPS-YFM700R-06. Is that the one you bought for your 2020 Raptor 700 or is there a different one?

And can you please share the link or the website you got it from as I can see that they are all out of stock.

Thank you again, I really appreciate the help!

 

Yes, the 2006-2012 Mishimoto radiator is all that is available.
That will also fit 2013-2021 models, but you are going to have to buy an 06-12 fan, or modify the mounting brackets of the newer fan.
Most parts are sold out everywhere now, good luck finding them.

 

Hey SixPack

Sorry to bother you again with my questions but umm do I need to modify anything to make the radiator fit in my 16 Raptor ? Or is it just the fan brackets?

And can you please tell me how hard is it to modify the fan brackets to make it fit?

I really appreciate the support!!

 

Thank you @Sixpack577 I appreciate the help. I have already bought the spal fan for 2013-2021 so I guess I will just modify the bracket.

However unfortunately I can’t find the mishimoto radiator anywhere so I guess I just have to wait.

Thank you though, I really appreciate you taking the time.

THANK YOU SO MUCH Nathan I really really really appreciate this!!

I just wanted to ask have you installed this? Does it fit straight away or will I need to make it fit?

It’s crazy hot here in Dubai you have no idea how much this will help.

Thank you again sooooo much!!

 

Haha your welcome.
I put one on my 08 when I had it and it fit alright just had to trim a couple bolt heads so it wouldn’t rub the frame.
Not sure about the newer raptors. Got a 19 now and wanna instal one on it. Anyway six pack probably has better info.
