Long shot, but anyone know of good radiator for sale? Anyone recommend a really good motorcycle radiator repairer?

SDR’s suffer from a design weakness, and this outfit scores plenty of brownie points on the KTM page.

Ah, good news, "busted rad" turned out to be leaky hose- all good now. Thanks for the suggestion.

Care to share more info?  Which hose / clamp was the cause?  Did you snap a pix before the fix?

Alas, the dealer who serviced the bike isn't saying, I think he's a bit embarrassed about the whole thing. Reading between the lines, I think it was the left hose on the rad (gear lever side), obviously they moved the rad when changing the plugs. Those jubilee clips are now well tight lol.
