was up all i whent down last week and my radiator kneck broke any ideas to weld it on or should i jb weld it back on i did it already and it leaks a little i think i need to put more on the the kneck part what u think ? ?
another thing on the right side were my bike whent down i hear a rattle now
not sure if its the fan hitting or somethin
i hope its not the bike block!

i cant realy tell goin to have good look and listen to what it is i think its in the block . or hopefully the fan if its the block on the right side what u think it is ..

is it eay to fix

 

it could be the timing chain tensioner if you hear it on the far right side

 

is it easy to fix i have a guy that does it just want to know is it worth it or bike a new bike and about the jb weld u think it will hold ?
anyone use jb weld before on the radiator

 

I used jb weld to patch a whole in my radiator. Put 1000 miles on it since..
Even made a trip up to omaha on it, 130 miles each way

But that was just a hole that sprayed fluid, not the whole neck..

 

take it to a local radiator shop and have it brazed back in, they can do it and it will hold as good as new plus no where near the cost of a new or used one. the rattling noise you are talking about, does it happen when the bike is running or just with the key turned on. if it's with the key on bike not running it obviously the fan, bend it back. get that bastard fixed.

and you were askin if you shoud just go buy a new bike over a noise and a water neck, if so are you sellin it cheap??

 

ill check ....and about the bike no not saling as of now !

 

Yeah I dont think JB weld will hold a broken water neck if its totaly broke off, even being properly prepped there is too much heat, pressure and vibration for it to hold. I would say (like the dude before me) take it and get it professionaly fixed.....you have to take the radiator off either way....smaller holes and such can be fixed with JB weld which is holding my rad. together now.
