So I went for a ride today and found my radiator is leaking. :-\

Its leaking at the header where the row meets the tank..

I know LA had a new radiator put on it... not sure about a possible warranty with it?

Has anyone had a radiator repaired? I have done it on cars but if they were aluminum they would not fix them... any suggestions?

its a tiny leak but I want it fixed...

Aluminum radiators are easier and cheaper to fix. If your shop still won't do it look for another shop.
They are repairable but very few shops do it.

thanks for the input, I will try to call around on Monday... if anyone has any suggestions on places I could ship it I would appreciate it...
This is not a recommendation, I have no experience with these folks.

I called the local Duc dealer, they are running my VIN and checking on possible warranty claim... told him the mileage and he said he would check.. I also found LA's thread where he had a leak as well... this bike is cursed on radiators..

Ducati NA said they would cover it since it was just replaced in March under warranty..

it is funny you mention that, What got me looking at Monsters was the S2R 1000.... but I just got a really good deal on the S4R... I think the S2R 1000 would fit my riding style better but I do love the BLUE and WHITE... basically it came down to a "new" 2004 M1000s or the S4R... and the dealer here could not get below 10500 for the 04 M1000s.... they were totally up front and honest its just the deal was not reachable so I got a radiator and 20 more hp...
