if you fix it, it will only be temporary... your best bet is to buy a new one

This happened to me the 1st weekend I bought my c-dale moto. I went to advanced auto and got some radiator putty. It worked great for 5 years, no trouble what so ever. Good luck!!

Any reputable radiator shop should be able to repair it. My cousin had a major gash in his Z400 radiator and was able to have it repaired at a local shop.

If you need a really quick fix for a pin hole in the radiator, pouring pepper into it will cure it pretty quick. You have to use a whole bottle, but it works.

I did this one time, and it saved me a day of riding 3 hours away from home.

no pics yet dont have a digital camera. Got that pwr radiator but it was to thick it wouldn't fit, sending it back. Had to order another stock one. Anyone hear anything on the two brothers slip on, installed it but haven't had the radiator to hear it. Should be riding by thursday.
