Hi all, Just a bit of information for those who do not know yet. Dropped my 650 in a rutted out, muddy trail. Slipped off a submerged tree root! (my excuse!) and the radiator took a side swipe on the said root. Pushed in the side about 1&1/2in aand wrecked the fan. Managed to get home with out the fan on the freeway but needed about 30 mph to keep it cool on the trails. OK, bottom line here..........OEM radiator $280 fan assembly $278 AFTER my discount too! Well I fixed the fan with epoxy (blades back on the hub) and radiator is out for repair. Another great days riding. We laughed a lot too. PS Hawaiian ice IS just that..........Like ice but red.
