Not a awesome day at Washougal some guy whiskey throttled his crf into me and t boned me hard. Smashed the left raditor and the pipe in luckily I have just a sore left leg from where the tire hit me.

Plastics and graphics are 10 years old was gonna upgrade any ways but wasn't planning so soon. Gonna go with the rtech kit with the gas tank

What seller is good for the China rads?

Twice I've ordered radiators from GPI and both times the radiators showed up on time & ready to ride with no leaks.

Yes but it wasn't my fault I just was in the wrong place to be. Guy who hit me swapped out on that second square edge and his bike swapped to the right. In a wheelie right into me hard it didn't knock me down but I lost control head shaked right into the raised ledge there on the right side.

Bike hit the ledge and it tossed me over the bars luckily I didn't hit to hard and my boot took most of the impact from the other bike. My gear did it's job just have a sore leg.

I wish they bring back the double like triple jump there me and just about everyone I know doesn't really like the dumb ant hill. Not because it's hard just because it's boring and easy. I'd be happy if they brought back the rhythm section like old Hillsboro hoops.

Ya you guys crashed right in front of me. I had to make a hard left to miss both of you. That was ugly i hope you are ok. I definitely saw your bike pissing coolant out everywhere as i went by.

Yeah I'm good I'll be back next Sunday luckily I still have the 144 to ride. Yeah the rad is twisted and smashed in it popped both end caps open.

Think I mostly mad cause I only got one practice session in and I was feeling better that second session and I want to have my 250 back before the o/t race coming up. I will rob the hurricane plastics from the 144 for the race.

You see this is why having two similar bikes is a good thing.

You went?

Dang text me next time your headed down, I bailed on going last minute cause all the guys that were going with me had bike issues.

How was it? Still YZ250, or did you Dust off the 465?

EDIT: Glad OP is alright! Hate to see pics of a twisted YZ.

Send the damaged radiator to Myler's. I have a YZ 250 and they've repaired 2 for me with great results. Way cheaper than buying a new one and they look brand new.

Contemplating sending my 87 CR radiators to Myler's. Sounds like they've done guys good. Anyone else wanna weigh in?

To the OP, I love those graphics!

Just saying..I was thinking about getting the rtech revolution kit for my yz125 when it gets the big makeover, in the interim, I bought an rtech oem replacement plastics kit for it and I gotta say it's absolute garbage.
Had to trim about 3/4 of an inch off the rear of the flexy, poxy front fender so that it didn't jam up on the lower corners of the radiator shrouds, and those shrouds were dead flat , no curve molded into them, you have to bend them down onto the tank to get the bolts in, than the corners stick out...really shit quality
