Three days later and the silcone should have hardened up so I fitted the radiator back on filled it up burped it then ran the motor for about two minutes which was all it took for the green pee to occure. bugger bugger bugger....off to Repco for some silver seal stopped off at three other places on the way and not sold there or run out....got back put the whole tube in ran the motor the green pee continued...and continued and continued once a large green puddle was on the floor I gave up on it. In anger I cleaned the area up took the stupid bent ally off and cleared all the silicone away and savagely crammed some mixed knead it in the hole...at this stage all attempts to make it look like new were out the window. I hosed all the excess green pee off and left it overnight. Today I ran my motor untill the fan kicked in and not a sign of the dreaded green pee...I let it cool and did it again to make sure..still no pee. I put my fairing back on and ran it again still no pee...took it for a short run and well no green pee...an "I couldn't give a rats arse attitude" ended up being the one that fixed it. Moral of the story??? buy an air cooled bike lol!. I did end up tapping the two holes where the fairing fits near the steering stem due to one of Suckzukis crappy fairing clip things breaking and fitting two stainless steel socket cap button bolts...thats what they call them anyway....wonder how long radiator repair will last??
Smoke me a kipper I'll be home in time for breakfast
