2003 sv650 radiator

I recently had a crash and the radiator was bent. The cap opened a little and some coolant spill out. I called the service department of Suzuki dealer, and they said there is no way to repair a bent radiator, I need to get a new one. It costs about $500 canadian dollar. I still ride the bike after the crash and the bike seems OK. The temperature is stable, too. Should I replace the radiator for reasons other than a good-looking bike? Should I add more coolant? Thanks.

Also, the right turn signal seems to flash a lot faster than the left one after the crash, I can't find what the problem is.

if your coolant is topped up and your bike is keeping a stable temp like you say its just cosmetic.

+ 1, although like all vehicle manufacturers they want you to buy a new official replacement part which is where they actually make there money.
