ZZR1200 Radiator

Off on a weekend away on the Zed. 500km from home the radiator starts leaking, and I 'm thinking I will need to be trailered home. Couldn't directly see where it was coming from, somewhere on the RHS of the radiator. I leaked more when on the centre stand than on the sidestand.
Anyway, I decided to put in a bottle of Wynn's Radiator Stop Leak. Instant success! So I managed to continue the weekend away.
Now to find from where it leaked....

No corrosion, simply some wear and tear from the inside, according to the radiator guy. Perhaps some crap rattling around in that spot.

Has your ZRX radiator broken yet?

Yep. My OEM radiator cracked due to the mounting points a few years back. I had that repaired (twice) then bought a Delkevic.
The Delkevic did ok, but never cooled it as well as the OEM.
I then went with a TEALDO radiator from Kwick, and have never looked back.

Cool. No pun intended. :)
