Is the radiator on the 2000 RSV Mille aluminum? I need to get it fixed and the shops here ask if its aluminum or not.
 
we have a a radiator shop here too, if its ali it wont fix, the heat blows holes in it, there is a 2 part chemica metal we use will find out what its called its the muts nuts for small nicks to the fins..
 
Mate try and get hold of some JB WELD it comes in a two tube pack, strongest adhesive you will find. Resistant to oil petrol etc as well as extreme temperatures/pressures. I repaired a hole in my mille's l/h rad up near the top mounting bracket. Been fine ever since.
 
These rads can be repaired pretty easily by the right people, they are aluminium alloy and as the guys above say can be repaired by using a good metal compound.

I personally use Belzona - Click Me you can't buy better, it's used by the Military worldwide on all types of machinery.
 
It doesn't have a hole. One of the outlets that the rubber hose connects to is bent halfway close. I'm thinking about getting it cut off and having another outlet welded on.
 
You can bend it back preaty easily :), just insert a flat screwdriver in and slowly turn it.

You just have to be carefull that you apply the force to the right spot, otherwise you will tear of the outlet.

And it doesnt have to be perfect, athough you can get there, just as much that it will seal good against the rubber hose.
