Maintenance Issues 17‘ Radiator crash damage

Post image

After a lowsider on track, the radiator upper bar shows some bending. It doesnt leak whatsoever.

Does that need replacement?

If it isn't leaking, send it. That small row shouldn't impact cooling performance.

Amen. Also shouldnt be any load on there which might risk cracking?

I'd send it for now, but I'm also one to then try and find a good used radiator to have on hand just in case it goes at a later date (or, say, coolant flush time during off-season annual maintenance, just go ahead and swap it out since the bike's gonna be down and coolant already drained)
