Radiator screens

[tschisi]

Hello!

I need new radiator screens for my 1990.
I tried to order them from kawasaki but it seems that they can no longer be delivered.
So i thought about ordering them with the part number of the 2003 model.
The numbers are nearly the same, with a little difference, maybe because of the color?
Do you know if they will fit?
I got the numbers from ronayers.com, the drawings there look the same.

1990:
radiators:
39061-1112
39061-1113
screens green:
14037-1099-6W   

2003:
radiators:
39061-1235
39061-1236
screens white:
14037-1099-RZ     

thx

I cant say for sure, but I'd bet you could use them.

Just a suggestion, but why don't you just get some aluminum guards.  I my world I throw those plastic things away the first day I get a new bike and replace them with real aluminum guards. Cam.

The plastic one's are better for cooling. Or are there alu look a like's??

Hello!

I need new radiator screens for my 1990.

I like the OEM plastic ones, but they don't like me.

I've liberated several of the newer part number versions (2001) in various riding areas here in Southern California.  My bike has strategically placed them in hiding spots that I can't even find.  If you locate any while riding, they are mine.

The holes in the aluminum radiator have enlargened enough with vibration and age that they remind me of a joke punchline (nsfw).  Duct taping the screens along the mating wall of the shrouds just annoys them.  I've taken to using a safety wire leash in addition to the tape.

I too have been distributing those radiator grills throughout Michigan. They cost me about $15 each and I hope to someday find a few back again. I did discover that using clear RTV silicone on the mounting studs will keep them in place very well and thus save a few bucks. My current ones have the Monster decals on them and have stayed in place for a few years.

At one time moose made aluminum radiator screens that  looked like the stock ones. I was told that they stopped makeing them because they did nothing to stop rocks from getting to the radiator. They sure were sweet looking though.

for info:
the originals of the ?03 fit.

I?ve got another question by the way, it?s not about the K5 so i don?t start a new fred:
Can anyone tell me where i can find the length limit of the cam chain tensioner of a ?05 CRF450R?
I can?t find anything in the interned, the service manual or CRF forums.

 tschisi,
  Thanks for getting back about the rad screens.

 I haven't had the money to tear into my kids CRF450 yet, we just got it summer '09.
   However I think the question is whether or not the tensioner needs replacing is not if it will pop out far enough..
    The tensioner needs replacing if you can compress it closed again once it has opened up.
  I will try to find where I saw that, it was a vid on valve adjustment.
