dunno, would have thought u would be asking a lot of it, may be wrong but i need a bigger than standard blade rad to keep my blade under control temp wise...........
the fan is only for use when stood, if it comes on whilst traveling, (at a decent speed) then your "under cooled"

R1 radiator will not be man enough to cool the ZX12 motor.
Most people here have been using a Nissan Micra rad in their cars. I would have thought that would have been the best way to go.
Keep the ZX12 thermostat in the system.

ive since learnt that many people run the R1 rad with the R1 engine without problems, maybe i need more cooling due to tuned engine making more heat, i still would have thought it would be better to over cool and maybe block some of the air flow over a rad if its to much, than run into overheating probs that a fan will never cure.

bikkel, there's been a thread about the Polo rad before. I still haven't got my broadband hooked up, otherwise I'd do a search for you. Try searching "polo radiator" and see what comes up.
