anyone out there give me a rough drawing of the layout of the water pipes for a mk fireblade or explain where the pipes go. what is the best header tank to use. daviod

Hi David

Im not sure if this is any use to you?

Original bike coolant pipe layout

I dont know if MK lay it out differently and/or use a different radiator, but on mine (which uses the blade radiator) the hose that comes from the water pump, round near the gearbox output shaft, goes to the bottom of the radiator, and the one that comes from the block just under the carbs (varies slightly depending on engine year) goes to the top of the radiator. The expansion tank has two small feeds coming from it, one feeds into the bottom hose, the other into the third outlet on the top of the radiator.
