    Will an 2001 R1 radiator fit a 2001 R6?

    I have a line on a 2001 R1 radiator and I own an R6.

    Does anyone know for sure 100% if they are interchangeable?

    I went to Ronayers to compare part numbers and they are similar but not exact. I don't have alot of time to research it.

    Maybe someone here knows for sure?

    the part numbers are similar because that's the way they make the part numbers.

    as long as its not too wide to fit inside the fairing you can probably make it work.

    I guess I should also add that I don't have the R1 radiator in hand to compare.

    I also understand that I can probably make it work some how but I would like a direct bolt in.

    I don't know if ti will fit or not, but judging by the way Japanese engineer stuff, I bet the R1 radiator has at least 50% more cooling capacity than the R6 radiator, and won't fit.

    That would be my guess. Slightly wider and a good bit deeper b

    Just by looking at the parts fiche picture, the hoses are all in the wrong spot to fit an R6, so I would say no.

    If you flip it upside down, turn the cap inside out and put the hose clamps on backwards, I bet it would work...and you'd get much better cooling, like SuperBike type cooling
