Radiator Cap

[RT]

Getting ready to flush the coolant soon.  I know there is much talk of problems with the Tiger stock Rad Cap.    Do most dump it and go to the Stant 10227 I see listed in the sub parts?

no the stant cap doesn't seal good it's not long enuff , it will work in a pinch but you are better off with OEM, some have had problems with the stant cap not sealing the radiator neck good

[RT]

thanks Mustang, will stick with the oem

Mustang is dead on.  The Stant DOES NOT WORK.  I found out the hard way.  Switched back to OEM and no problems in 6,000 miles/1.5 months.

My OE one lasted to 58000 miles and 8 years. I replaced it with another OE which for £13 was no more expensive than any other one that might fit.

Just experienced this myself.  Read a prior thread regarding the stant cap.  Bought one but wasn't happy with the fit.  Felt loose with very little spring loaded pressure when tightening which I felt would not seal properly.  Planning on taking it back and sticking with the OEM cap unless anyone has found another replacement.

This isn't fixed on the 1050 either.  Mine just went.  Tiger took a little wee wee on the garage floor after I parked it and began stripping gear.
