GIXXER 600 Radiator questions
On the Gixxer 600 (Suzuki GSXR 600) what direction is the water flow?
Water pump is near the bottom of the engine. Does the water pump push or pull the water ? I need to know ASAP to route my radiator hoses. FRITSTER |

Re: GIXXER 600 Radiator questions
Almost all cooling systems fill the radiator from the top to expel air
through the fill 'burp' over flow bottle. |

Re: GIXXER 600 Radiator questions
yes thx, I bought some 7/8 inch ID silicone heater hose, will that work ? The hose I bought seems really soft though. I may need to get a different type?

Re: GIXXER 600 Radiator questions
I actually had to buy 1" and 1/2" ID hose because i used a mid 90's honda civic dual core radiator. The guy i bought it from machined custom reducers so i could use the smaller i.d. hoses. The hoses are just heater hoses i bought from an O'reilys auto parts store. Hope that helps, let me know if you need more info or pics.

Re: GIXXER 600 Radiator questions
K, thanks.
I will need help with the electric fuel pump stuff. I bought a walbro fuel pump and was wondering if it requires a return to the fuel tank which is mounted higher than what the fuel pump will be. AND, I suppose I will need a pressure regulator to make sure I have the correct fuel pressure to the fuel line? |

I just used Mobil 1 Synthetic Gear Lube LS 75W-90. I know it's supposed to take 30W, but that's hard to find. The Mobile One worked good for me.

Re: GIXXER 600 Radiator questions
thx for ur fast responses,
I am trying get my ducks in a row to start wrapping this up. Lots to do like extending the wire harnesses, brake lines, fuel lines, shift/clutch/gas cables, pedals, etc.... but in about a month I think I will finally see light at the end of the tunnel. Been a 2 year project. Built this rig frame up .... every inch of it... very long process. |
