[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 1386024, member: 434"] Sorry, no actual hole, but I had such a dent and multiple broken strands on my Cox guard on my Gen 1 that I'm fairly sure would have holed the radiator had I not had it. When I noticed the hole in the guard I took it off and saw three other hits on it that probably weren't radiator killers outright, but thought how it also reduced fin damage and possibility of a hole out in the middle of nowhere. Also had the tab broken off the boss near the oil drain plug by a rock, one aux light glass broken by a rock, and recall one or two people with holed FJR radiators over the years. Rocks happen a lot on the road. And while radiator holings certainly on FJRs are not a [I]common[/I] problem, they're not non-existent. And it's also curious that Yamaha engineers thought it worthwhile to factory radiator guards stock starting in Gen 2. Maybe you know more than they do. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/IMG] I've also got a PM out to the person that I sold my spare '05 radiator. Can't remember if it was a rock hit or something else. Hopefully they'll share. [/QUOTE]
