Yep, if you dump this bike on the road more than likely your radiator is gonna get tweaked. I went down hard once last year and didn't have my radiator tweaked. Got lucky I suppose. I did have R&G frame sliders though, I think that helped. Not so sure even if you bought the rinky dink radiator braces they sell that it would protect it much if u were to totally dump it on the pavement. I seriously doubt it. I was thinking about scoring a Cox racing shield for my radiator though. A lotta twigs and **** can puncture into ur radiator through the front. 

Just ordered some rim locks and tubes. I run my tires at low pressure for off road. I took it for a short road ride to work and on my way back home I had to make a panic stop. Ripped the valve stem on my front tube.
