    I had a fairly sizeable leak fixed on a 2009 Z750 radiator, cost me about $200 to have it 'professionally' repaired from a local radiator shop.

    Yep, it looked like a dab of hot glue. Glad I got rid of that bike

    mate I think these 00- 03 GSXR's are bad for radiator leaks. My 750 had one- at first i used radiator stop leak which was good and fixed it for a while but then it started coming through again at which point i used JB WELD... good shit.

    However I reckon once the crack has started it will keep going and eventually find it's way around even JB weld. Best option is another radiator from ebay.... i got one for 120NZD shipped to my door... not bad at all and way better than a rip off radiator repair.

    good luck!

    Yeah I think you might be right in just replacing it. I got it 'repaired' for $40 by a reputable shop, but they said the rad has seen better days and won't guarantee the work. It's lasted fine so far, and might last for a while yet. But in the mean time I'll keep my eyes peeled for a replacement.
