bent pipe.

[rupecopp]

Had a goodcrash yesterday and bent the pipe so it now touches the radiator pipe. Can I rebend the pipe so it's more or less back to original shape.

Would I leave the pipe on or take it off or leave it on the bike.

Pipe is a messico.

Thanks

Did the same thing to the same pipe. All i did was take a com along and secure the bike and put the come along to the bent part of the pipe and ratcheded it out.

I would be carefull yanking the pipe around while it is still attched to the bike. Seems like you could put alot of leverage into the spigot that is bolted to the aluminum top end. Just my $.02. On the 02 I pulled the radiator tubes away from the pipe with zipties.
