So as you guys know I posted a thread a couple weeks ago about my radiator problem bike only has 5900 miles...so after the problem I had I brought the bike back home rode it for about 30 min next day came home never touched it for about a week. The other day I came home and a small puddle of radiator fluid was on the ground. Note I haven't touched the bike in a week, I go threw my garage look at the bike every day when I get off work so wth did this fluid come from....so I grabbed a jacket and took it to dealership. They had it a couple days and called me we'd and said it had a small pin hole size hole in radiator it looked like something hit it...when I looked I never seen no dent or ding I think they wearnt trying to cover the warranty he said it was under normal wear but again idk why there was fluid it hadn't been touched in a week. So I asked how much money for a new one he said $850 and another $150 for install I said forget it and took the bike home I found a brand new OEM radiator on eBay for $105 so I got it and installed it today bleed the lines and instead of oem coolant I went with engine ice. Tell me though when I took the old radiator off (note) there was no dents or dings there was an extreme amount of corrosion in the radiator is that normal? Pic below bike has 5900 and I feel as if that is kinda crazy but this is my first bike idk my damn 500hp Subaru didn't even have that and it was 6 year old radiator!!! Just letting u guys know that's what I had to do was replace a radiator!
