    Differences in 250x and 250r radiators?

    by frankinsime » Tue May 31, 2016 6:21 pm

    Hi there all, i have been looking around on the site but cant seem to find any info on if radiators are interchangeable.

    The r and the x have different part numbers, but looking at the parts diagrams it only looks like there is a bung in the bottom of the r/h rad in the x but not on the r?

    Does anyone know of any other differences? I would presume the bung is for the cooling fan switch and the R would not need this?

    Thanks in Advance.

    I cannot speak to the specific differences per se but I can tell you that I used the Dr D radiator lowering kit on my '06 250x. The kit was advertised as being for the R and uses the radiator mounting points. With this in mind, I suspect if you are looking to confirm that the R radiators will mount up to your X then I suspect yes. But as always, your results may vary. When I ordered the kit, Dubach could not confirm fitment on the X. I took a chance and it paid off. Hope this helps
    O.D.

    Thanks for the response guys.

    I am a causal rider and didn't want to pay Honda prices for a new radiator just to bend again :) . There are lots of 2nd hand R radiators around but not many X's.

    And yes i am going purchase some radiator guards to try and prevent it happening again :P .

    Thanks again
