As some of you are aware I was nocked off my bike the other week,
just a quick question am I ok to turn her over for a minute or so without the radiator.

the rad is fooked and not even connected to the bike any more.

its been 18 days now so was going to fire her up for a 2 minutes to just get things moving.

Cheers Ant,

I would advise you don't do that. The head and such will get very hot very quickly, a few seconds max if you must.
