Crashed my VFR- coolant leaking out.

lowsided my viffer on a sharp left went kinda wide, hit gravel, went down. left side of bike is scraped. new rider this is my first bike. anyways, did any of you lowside the bike on the left hand side? if so, did it cause a coolant leak and how much to fix?> thanks

 

The radiators are right there behind the plastic on both sides, doesn't take much to break one. Take the plastic off and see what the problem is. Could be you just tweaked a hose or something, you'll have to look to be certain.

Cooling system fiche: Look here for both radiators, cooling system, etc.

 

A member here Rollin_Again had that happen to him. The shop said he had to get a new radiator because the force of the impact crushed the radiator fins and was beyond repair.

Like others are saying here try taking the plastics off and see if you can find where the leak is coming from. It could be as minor as a radiator hose getting loose.

 

Thanks all. I took the MSF Course and got my license this summer. Had a great time! But, after having my VFR for three weeks I was taking it out canyon-carving every day and I finally went wide on a turn and hit gravel and lowsided. I'm really humbled by this. Do I have to replace the plastic fairings just because they are scratched? The problem I have is that my bike has a custom color the previous owner painted it. Is it shameful to have scratched fairings?

 

It would be a good idea to leave them scratched for while 'till you get very familiar with the bike. It would suck to paint them all up nice and drop it again.
