I took my 1125r to the local dealer last fall for the water pump weep(my warranty was running out).
Long story short Tech bent the radiator bottom tank where the water pump inlet tube attaches. It caused a leak there. I didn't catch it until this spring. It is so bent I didn't want to try a solder fix and ended up ebaying a used radiator.
Moral - be careful with the radiators the metal is super thin and the tubes bend it easily with any force applied to them.
Also tech left out 2 bolts, didn't align the pod plastic with the fan mount plastic. Had the shifter so far out of adjustment even the service writer commented on how you couldn't ride it like that.
Needless to say I will never have any work done at that dealer again.
