Hello all! New to the forum, new to forums in general! Got a problem if anyone can help? Got a hole in my rad a few weeks ago put some radweld in it and it stopped is this a repair that i can trust or would you consider this temporary? Also would a rr6 - rr7 rad fit a rr4? Thanks
Had the same issue, get it repaired or replaced. Repairs are circa £40 if you strip and take the rad in
An RR6/7 will fit an RR4/5, but not the other way around. The RR4/5 radiator doesn't fit with RR6/7 bodywork as the bike is a bit thinner.
theres some better stuff around than rad weld (will find a link to it) but is good enough to plug a leak in a cracked head on a race bike for a while so will be fine in a road bike. here you go. HEAD GASKET,RADIATOR / HEATER REPAIR KALIMEX K-SEAL K5501 | eBay
Used this on my track bike rad, brilliant stuff; Halfords | Evo-stik Hard & Fast Metal Epoxy Putty Clean and dry area, Cut off section of putty, Kneed both parts together Place onto damaged area Shape and allow to cure You can smooth if before fully curing, you dampen the putty with water and smooth finish with your finger. Can also be filed, sandpapred or drilled when fully cured.
Sorry to start this thread again but I'm wondering if I will damage my bike by using Radweld/K-Seal as I've heard these are mainly for cars and I don't want to affect my engine/water pump, etc. Also I've found a 2nd hand rad in the US and through a breakers in this country but not sure whether to go with AaronRads for a cheaper repair or recore? Your views would be appreciated.
