Pierced radiator

[Meegas]

Hey Guys,

Was being stupid today on my bike and managed to damage my radiator.
At the time I didn't realise it was damaged, I turned the bike off after about 2 minutes from the moment it was pierced (ba a piece of sharp plastic). Then about 5 hours later I made my way home which is 5 miles away from my mate's house. When I was chaining the bike I noticed that there was a leakage from the bike, upon inspection I saw that the radiator was damaged, and leaking quite badly.

I have a friend who gas a garage, 1.8 miles from me and do you think I can ride to him if I fill my coolant liquid to replace the radiator there, any tips... ?

Tips about what?

Just replace the radiator.

Remove old one.
Fit new one.
Fill system with coolant.

A bit of gaffa tape will sort it.

You guys talk a load of crap. A good set of adjustable spanners is where its at.

Noobs.

This is getting all complicated, but everyone knows used chewing gum is perfect for stopping leaks

Sorry, meant metric. Turn them over, you can see the metric measurements stamped on the other side.

Guys,

What I'm asking is what is the risk of riding 1.8 miles with the radiator in this state? Once I get to the garage I should be fine with replacing it. I'm not gonna strip the whole bike in front of my block on the pavement.

I'm not your friend, I have never met you...

I now see that you were going to buy a XR125 but did not, and you bought a YZF-R125 instead.

So it's a 1 hour job at most, stop being a girl.

Strange. I had to replace my radiator last week too on my CBR as it had a hole in it, pissing liquid out the back and making huge steam clouds out of the engine bay as it hit the downpipes.

I'm also commenting to keep track of this thread for the lulz.

Op, it will probably be fine, it's your risk to take though nobody else knows how bad the leak is. If it overheats badly your risk ruining the engine.
