I read in an old magazine that black pepper somehow stops leaks in radiators. Always kept some in my fannypack so one day I pulled some for my scooters drip So I know that pepper does work.

a help on the rad would be to enlarge the bottom tank, or replace it completely. larger ones are available. or have a fab shop make a set up. we are lucky the bike mfgs haven't gone the automotive route with low grade die cast rads or plastic radiators, that aren't repairable...

Apparently those number also apply to the 2005 TE.
I manage to slam into some rocks last week and smash my left side guard protected radiator......just looking up the part number and found it to be the same as listed above.

Mine just started leaking yesterday in the same place. It looks like the repeated bending and straightening has caused the fins to pull loose from the tube and cause it to leak. Dirtdame where did you say you got those radiators at for $97?

Thanks
Dave

I ordered a new rad and it was the Toyo for $125. The old one had a crack in the tube about 1" long. I'm going to try and fix the old one for a spare. Wish me luck

My dealer also noted that the Toyo comes with a higher pressure cap and that it is not compatable with the Alexon. The added pressure will cause the left side to fail. But putting the Toyo on the left side is ok.

I should have said that was the price with shipping to my house. I didnt ask what the price was before. It was cheaper than I had expected however. It was in stock and I should have it by friday.:ride:

Got it from Bottones Jo-Bet cycles. I was going to call Motoforza but it was close enough in price I didnt bother. I will post my results on fixing the old one.

Ordered my left side radiator last month from our local dealer. Retail price was $136, my price was $123.

OEM Husky radiator was about half what I heard guys were paying around here for OEM Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and KTM radiators

I know this is an old thread but just wanted to update. Had my right side suffer a crack right up the center of the inner most tube. Sent it to Mylers in Utah, cost $35 plus my shipping and worked great for over a year. Last week it began dripping again. I noticed a hairline crack start at the bottom of the weld Mylers did and it looked to be slowly opening up further. I have a friend that repairs AC and he used an epoxy in the tube to seal it completely because he believes it'll (the crack) keep spliting..I will lose that tube but it should work ok..

Emailed Dan at Motoxotica and he has the replacement in stock for $140..so that is my next move if this fails.

Yup, Thats good news for sure. I won't rehash the gouging I took, .... in stock and shipped quick though.

It's been a while but I did temporarily fix the leaking radiator. It lasted until the inside support broke. I had to remove one row of fins because the brazing rod I used would shrink so much that when you filled the crack it would just pull out of the aluminum and cause another crack.
Mainly I wanted to post this for people looking for a was to make aluminum repairs if they have access to a oxy-acetylene torch. Here is a pic of the rad after it was brazed. The repair held and never leaked, I just had to replace it because the side fell off.

The brazing rod I used was HTS-2000 that I bought from ebay (if you buy from ebay you dont have to worry about the expensive limited quantity amount from the manufacturer). I think that there is another rod called durafix and Tractor supply had something similar and says to do the same thing. Here is the HTS-2000 sitehttp://www.aluminumrepair.com/aluminum_repair.asp
