I managed to damage the radiator beyond repair on my 2022 FTR R Carbon this morning. ABS kicked in halfway up my driveway and completely killed my braking power, so the left radiator guard impacted my garage door and bent the radiator badly enough that it’ll need to be replaced.
So far as I can tell, there is no damage to the trellis frame; only the radiator and the mounting brackets welded to it appear to be bent out of true.
It doesn’t look like it’ll be all that difficult to replace the radiator myself if I need to — is anyone aware of anything I need to watch out for, or anything about the setup that makes it more of an issue to swap out than it looks like at first glance?
