    It is a precautionary part if you have overheating issues. Distributes the flow more evenly to each rad and is aluminum so it will not melt / burst. Not a necessity but if you ride a lot of tight and or hot areas it's a good idea.

    I installed one on my TE after my left radiator cracked for no apparent reason a month or two ago. It doesn't cost a lot, so I would do it, if I were you. If I had known about it before my radiator broke, I would have had it installed already.:excuseme:

    i replaced the plastic ones with the uptite unit before i even rode mine. both tc and smr.. cheap insurance. and while your at it, replace the cross over hose with fuel injection hose, higher burst pressure.. :):):applause:

    Yep. Word of caution when installing the crossover hose is be careful when forcing it on the rad nipple as it can snap off.
