Radiator Core Guard for MT-09/XSR900 Product # RGY-MT09-00

The question is how to reconcile the conflicting themes of cooling efficiency and protection performance.

Pebbles and garbage rolled up from the front tire, insects flying at the light..etc
These will damage the radiator core which is made up of aluminium fins.
The cooling effect is lost when the fins are crushed, and in some cases there is a risk of damaging the water line and causing coolant leakage

The radiator core guard of the etching factory has been tested many times mainly in the 8 hours endurance road race in the midsummer which is the most severe for the radiator.

The placement of the mesh pattern, the thickness of the mesh lines, and the aperture ratio are all based on feedback from the racing scene.

[Hexagon mesh pattern with fine center and coarse sides]
This ensures that pebbles and debris spun off from the front tire are guarded by a fine mesh in the center that matches the width of the tire.
The coarse meshes on both sides are designed with an aperture ratio that takes into account the conflicting themes of cooling efficiency and protection.

[There's a reason for the choice of material]
In the case of aluminum or titanium, the mesh line width can only be achieved by lowering the plate thickness (lowering the strength), but by using stainless steel (SUS304 0.8t), the ideal line width can be achieved without lowering the strength.

Based on the above, the core guard is not only an item to maintain the performance of the vehicle, but also has a dress-up effect to show off the beauty of the vehicle in a casual manner.

To protect, to charm.

It is recommended with confidence for your valuable machine.
