Motorcycle water radiator repair
 

On my way to Diane's today a stone punched through it and dumped the coolant all over me and the bike. Anybody know of somewhere near Manchester that can repair it? (SV1000SK3)

Suzuki dealer quoted me £405 inc VAT for a new one so I've dropped it off at a local repair shop to see if they can close the ends off on the damaged tube.

Make sure they use a high temperature braze. Mate had a repair done on his Raptor and all was well, until stuck in traffic waiting to get in to Donnington MotoGP on a hot day, it let go.

A radiator is a radiator. A normal radiator repair shop should be able to fix it for much less than the cost of a new one. HTH

I did see that Alan but it's so bent I doubt the holes for my lowers would line up and fit. I got mine repaired for £30, just fitted it and it's under test. Looking good.

Damn it :( The repair has failed twice so far. Ok for a couple of days but the the expansion/contraction from thermal cycling seems to make it crack and it starts to weep. Back in the shop for the 3rd time now. I can have the radiator off in 20 mins now including the lower fairings, lol.

It's looking good this time around so I've given myself the day off tomorrow to test it properly. I hear it might be a nice day for a bike ride ;)
