a hose can be easily replaced. if its the radiater itself take it to a radiater shop.

i hit the corner of mine off a stump and it put a crack in it and bent it pretty bad. well i got it welded at a regular shop and then i went riding the next time and went over a burm and laid my bike on that side, not even that hard, but it wasnt leaking from what i could tell but the next time i went riding i had a big mess. the pressure caused it to start leaking all over the place. i lost about all my radiater fluid in no time. i decided to take it to a radiater shop and they bent it back in place and 2 of the cores were leaking and the previous weld was leaking and another spot was cracked. well i got it all fixed for 100 dollars. so take it to a radiater shop it is worth it.

Nice story though elk. But why are we at a rad shop already? We don't even know what the issue is yet. I like all the facts i can get before spending shop kinda money myself.
