Re: the ST virus....

[Garrett Johns <garrett.johns@xxxxxxxx>]

My bike,sadly, born on 12/20/98, purchased 3/19/99,  also has the "st radiator virus". I am currently on my fourth radiator at 4600 miles.The original sprung a leak at just 400 mi., the second lasted about 2600 mi. before puking, The third lasted only 3 days and 400 mi. before spraying the right-side fairing with coolant half-way thru massachusetts while I was enroute to laconia from new haven,ct.I was not a happy camper. Each time it leaks from the same spot,the upper rt.-handside(sitting on the bike)about 2 inches from the corner.I was told by the service manager that my current radiator(which was back-ordered for 2 weeks) was manufactuered in june 1999 while my three previous were made in 1998. I don't know if there is any difference or if this was said to "pacify" me. I have close to 600 miles over 2 weeks with my current radiator with no leaks so far.
