About a week ago, I was riding home from work when a deer ran in front of me. I hit her head on, tore her apart, and I never went down. It bent my front right rotor, cracked front fender, and right side fairing, but also I think it somehow hit my radiator. After fixing the rotor, everything looked fine. Tonight, I go for a ride, and when I return home I let it idle. It got up to 214 F then the fan kicked on, and I heard it knocking on something. I looked and the radiator got pushed back some, so I'm wondering if the Fan is hitting the Radiator, and if I could pull the radiator out enough so it does not hit anymore. Any suggestions on what one should do?

 

Yo, glad your alive !!!!!!!! see if you can see the interference...possibly trimming the fan blades evenly. I would disassem. , see if the rad mounts, are knackerd, to cause rad leaks, later. Salvage places are good, for cheap parts. Up and at it... good for you !!!!!!!!!

just pull it, it's soft aluminum...
Use short steady pull's, don't jerk it (insert comment here)

 

Yeah, I am pretty fortunate, to be alive. I didn't get a scratch on me, which is amazing. I'll def. try pulling it first, just for a quick fix if anything. My biggest concern, was that it might of messed up the radiator mounts. I'll look soon.
