my bike spilled its guts!
Never had a problem with the cooling system until today.
Got to work and a steady stream of antifreeze was pissing out the front of the rad , beside the left manifold.
It had just started leaking, hardly any on the on the header, or engine.
Good thing.... coould have been a greasy situation...
Thats an accident waiting to happen!
Hope the warehouse has one in stock!
I want to ride!

Was there a rock dent or impression at the leak point? That happened to a friend of mine on a ride to Arkansas last year... it was pissing straight onto the front tire. Luckly, another friend noticed it right when it started - they were sitting at a traffic light.

Too hard to tell for sure, but looks like no dent.
I have to pick it up, and will have a better look when i get it home.
Its leaking very very close to the seam at the manifold, I'm thinking it is faulty...
hoping....

I am a good boy!
I would never do that. 
what else are you supposed to do with 1 mile of completely empty straight pavement...?
They must have engineered it that way specifically for the purpose of traversing as quickly as humanly possible.... LOL
actually had her into the speed limiter, up a 7% grade, rolled on it at about 220 km ! LOL
I am quite confident with proper gearing, it would pull damn close to 200 MPH!

Checked with Cox a few weeks ago and they are still looking for a '14 to do a mock up on. I have had my order in for 2 months!
A rad guard should be standard on bikes. They are just way too vulnerable to rock/bug damage.
Sounds like your rad is fixable. I am sure a new one would be just stupid expensive!
