Opinion on Radiator!
 

Hi all,
Went on a trackday, had an offy, and the only potentially serious damage was to the radiator. (The Fairing bracket attached seems to transfer the weight to it)

Now... it runs fine, no temperature issues, however not sure whether how far it has moved back would have damaged anything else, and thought I'd see if anyone has had anything similar happen to them - or know more technical knowledge about what exactly it could've moved into!

Cheers :)

No ideas about the rad, but good to see the OEM fairing mounts which are also used to mount the Suzuki crash bungs were up to their usual high standard and folded at the first opportunity!
(still bitter about the damage mine caused when they folded!)

If you run the bike up to temp and the fan cuts in and works, then you'll be fine as it is, the fan and wiring is all you'll have damaged behind there.

Cheers Mark.

Yup, just so.
If it works, just keep on truckin'.

You're rad doesn't look as bad as mine. But your rad guard looks worse (do you want a replacement?).
The only issue I had was the Rad pushed the radiator hoe to foul the throttle so it didn't return and I had cruise control. But has been fine for a long time now after I pushed it back out of the way.

i bent mine in my wreck but it still works with no leaks so i figured it was good enough

Re: Opinion on Radiator!
 

I would check that the fan can still spin as others gave suggested mine has been bent worse than yours and has covered several thousand miles without any problems.

;)if it starts leaking just but some bubble gum in it that should work
