On the subject again, my question above is about the difference in performance between the stock 999 radiator vs the stock 749R radiator.
If anybody can help answer this question I'd be grateful.

And if there is indeed a performance increase of the cooling system when using the 749R's rad, then I'd go and get one. I'm looking to drop the "race" temp on my 999 around 10-15C.

Thanks in advance and hope someone can shed some info on this.
It holds a little more water. 2.7 vs 2.8 l It also has
imo the better spigot arrangement. With modified Thermostat
and fairing with cleared lower left fairing (electronics in nose) and
Silicone/Alloy tubing it never ran above 95C even on the hottest
days in RS race trim.
