- Hey y'all,
In this video we take it to the streets to repair the radiator on the R6. It looks like it just needed a small pinhole leak to be soldered and that's exactly what we did. We used soapy water, plastic cleaning brush, Propane Torch, flux paste and wire brush. I will try to keep the videos in real time so you guys can have a better idea on how long it takes me to fix things. I try not to explain myself too much I rather dive straight into the video and repair. Let me know if you have any suggestions on how the videos should be.
Thanks for watching!

So clean with brush, push back coolant fin line with pick, then what's the name of the putty and the type of solder please?
It's not putty, it's soldering paste/flux and soldering wire and a torch.
What do you need the backing music in a repair video for? It just annoying.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm learning as I go and have stopped using background music on my recent videos. I appreciate you!
Did you ever have any issues with this repair in the future?? Deciding on doing this or buying new radiator
Hi Luis, Never! It worked super well. I actually was so impressed that the money I saved that I bout 2 Jugs of Engine Ice and did a complete flush. Now bike runs awesome temps. One thing I will recommend and this is crucial. Make sure you pick out the the hole with a little fine pick like you see me do and also clean very well around it so it will retain the flux and give you a proper solder. Let me know if you have any more questions. Hope I could be of help. Thanks for liking and subscribing!
I assume you drained it comepletelly but is it fine for some residue of the coolant to remain?
I drained mine completely to fix it, then installed it, added distilled water and ran the bike for about 4 min then drained it again. After that, I filled it up with Engine Ice. About $20 per jug. I used a jug and a quarter. What coolant are you planning to use?
And next time you’ll invest in a radiator guard …. 😂
💯 lol
You should be telling us step-by-step what you're doing instead of us just watching you work. This isn't an instructional video. This is Us following you on Instagram.
Thank you Jason, I'll keep it in mind for the next video. I'm learning as I go. Take care!
