The Science has been done, paint your rads matt black for increased cooling in town riding, should help keep the storm cooler at the lights.

Thoughts?

Nothing new there M8. That's why vehicle radiators are traditionally matt black. :thumbup:

Know it's not new thinking but good to see some science, my VTR, CRF450, RM250 and GSXR all had either silver or unpainted rads, only the 954 of my Dad's was painted black

And making them matte black increases the speed at which the fan turns?
