Count me in. My '99 started leaking (weeping really) at 2 years + 2
months. I rode it that way for a while but figured I should fix it before
the summer heat.

Probably not. I sent mine to at repair shop that specializes in motorcycle
radiators. After 2 tries at fixing it they gave up and refunded my money.

It's worth asking the question. I didn't since my warranty had expired but
the new radiator was a different design with some stiffeners added at the
mounting points. I don't think I'm the only one it happened to.
> d) should I just bin my ST and by a VFR? :(
Geez, thats kind of extreme isn't it?
