New 2015 NC700XD Radiator broke after 2 months - Denied by extended warrenty

[davidc83]

I just ordered this one. It will be delivered next week. I will let you know how the install goes:
Amazon.com: AltRider N712-2-1102 Black Radiator Guard: Automotive

The radiator didn't "break," it was damaged by something flung up by the front tire or from another vehicle. Under those circumstances, it's difficult to expect any manufacturer to replace the radiator at no cost.

the dealer quoted me $1000 but i bought a new radiator online for 500 and they charged me 100 for the install and coolant

i'm just disappointed that the bike has such a vulnerable spot , if it's a known problem which it is Honda should issue a recall to install protection and not have their customers find out the hard way by replacing their radiator 2 months in

other than the radiator guard my NC is 100% stock so i'm hoping i dont need any other modifications to enjoy my bike

If you had full motorcycle insurance coverage on this bike, your Comprehensive should have covered this after your deductible.

Which Orange County are you in? California or Florida?

He is in California since he stated he comes from Santa Margarita to Irvine. On a car, this would definitely be covered. Our Honda Civic hit something that wasted the radiator, which caused a catastrophic engine failure very rapidly. No time to react. We got a remanufactured engine installed for just the $500 deductible. I was pretty happy about that. Haven't read my motorcycle policy that carefully. Think I will do that tonight.

i'm in California - but my deductible is either $500 or $1k so I don't think insurance would have helped me

If it was from impact from something off the road you are probably out the money.

Road debris is covered by comprehensive insurance in the US
