Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: Coolant leak - help

Final outcome - the dealer managed to find some second-hand parts for the oil cooler (?) pipe under the sump. He showed me how one of the arms just disintegrated like tin foil with a tiny bit of pressure. So, basically corrosion of this pipe, and the main vertical one feeding into the large hose on the front of the block has cost me £295 all in. Fortunately he didn't have to take the pipes off (must have had small hands!). Actually felt that given the circumstances, they (Alfords in Folkestone) actually did a good job.
I had a Honda CB900 for the same amount of time (and it was second-hand when I bought it).... I can't remember seeing corrosion have such a bad effect... but then Honda are pretty fanatical about material quality.
Thanks for all the replies - I'm now just waiting for the next corrosion mishap
