Do you guys worry about your radiator falling off the bike while your riding down the road? If you do, stop worrying. I removed my radiator on my 2000 IS today so as to replace the thermostat hose clamp. Wow! little bit of an ordeal. Finally did it, but a few choice words were uttered. Installing again was not as smooth as I had expected either. The book says to first remove the fuel tank??? Don,t know why, did not have to. I had a slight coolant leak, could not get to the clamp, so I installed a wider clamp and turned the screw so I can reach it with the left IS pod off. Hope I fixed it.
Happy New Year everyone   Firefighter
