maxwell123455 is on a distinguished road
Ive taken my old XTR (just bought my dads triumph tiger) off roading in Wales for 2 days, England 2 days, done a few other days off roading here and there, and done a far amount of off the main road riding with plenty of bumps and knocks.

The only problem ive had with the radiator was the crash bars I have, after some off roading in England, has been pushed back a bit onto the water pump housing. This nipped the water pipe and created a small leak. Lucky enough it was a simple fix as the slack in the pipe could take out the nip.

Apart from this ive fallen off a couple of times in the snow/ice, off roading, been knocked off by a transit van etc and the bike seems to work well with hand guards and crash bars as the radiator doesnt seem to every try and touch down.
