04 big bear 400 cooling system
I have looked all over the internet trying to locate a replacement radiator for an 04 Big Bear 400. Once I hit the end of the internet, I decided to post the question to the ones I should have asked to begin with....YOU!
Besides a dealership, where can I find an OEM or aftermarket radiator? I have found all the relocation kits, but I need a replacement radiator!
Anyone?

Try this
2004 Yamaha YFZ350 Radiators - BikeBandit.com
I would have a local Radiator shop rebuild it.

I really appreciate the info. I will look into both.
I just picked up this 04 Big Bear and am waiting on my Clymer manual.
When I replace it, do I need to do anything special other than attaching it and putting oil back into the engine?
I am not sure the Clymer manual will cover replacing the cooler.
Thanks

Just make sure that you use the proper type of oil, and don't over fill. I would fill the engine to the full mark on the dipstick, remove the spark plug, crank the engine over 10 secs several times, and recheck oil level.
The manual should confirm this, but there should be an oil bleed screw or bolt in the engine head, to bleed air from the cooler. Open it slowly to push the air out, until all you have coming out is oil with no bubbles.
I think the cooler might have a fan, make sure it works OK, and above all; be patient.
