      On my rm85 enduro riding, up a rock face bike fell down caught over 4 metres worth of air and fell straight on a flat rock, split the shroud and squashed the radiator, craziest thing was that it never leaked and I only jsut replaced it, used for 4 years after that

    • @NOTTApro142

      It wasn’t me but it was a freind I was with, we were playing around in the woods and he started getting roost when he hit a corner way too fast and lost control, hit a rut and flew straight into a tree. And a broken branch right next to it miraculously smashed through his left radiator. He got up when we got to him and we just saw his bike dumping coolant all over the ground. He was able to ride it back but it had some heat damage.

      Fella fell off infront of me and i ran his bike over, smashed the rad and my plastics up, bent the brace in half, smashed rad, twisted it, broke fins off, over 400 quid of damage😂

    I've had a few hang ups locating replacement radiators for my 01 RM. I ordered a billet set and the mounting holes definetely didn't work....then I watched some fix-it vids and decided to try JB Weld on a small leak; it held pressure but looked a little bush-wacked for my restored bike....I finally ordered a second set of billet ones from a different supplier and they worked/looked pretty trick! Radiators and the little clip nuts at the bottom for the plastic shrouds are the cheesiest parts on this bike, with a close second belonging to the CDI mount inside the air box, thord has to be either the original wrap-under front brake cabke o r the seat bolts that rarely line up without pressure one direction or another. Over all these RMs are amazing bikes that handle fantastic!
    So glad you've been healthy and taken time to shape up your new shop -- Keep up the great work, partner !

    Radiator stories?
    Okay, my radiator start leaking after a crash in training.
    So straightened it out and epoxy glued the leak. Baked it the oven after the glue had partially set.
    Had a race next day and this was a Saturday. Long before Internet and courier service delivering express to your door next day (Eighties).
    So, The radiator never leaked again :)
    This was an RM125 - 85. Bought brand new for about $1600with today's value. (I think I have one picture of it on my IG with the same name as in my YT)
    I am 57 now and still ride, enduro bikes, to old for MX hehe.
    Thanks for the upload and happy that your medical is all good!

Real men never truly grow up! Or at least I know for sure I haven’t grown up. My wife tells me all the time that I’m her biggest kid lol. Have fun, stay young!
