Any time you have an "off", beyond the obvious things to check on the bike before riding off again, I suggest manually spinning both fans on the radiators by hand. If they don't spin free the crash bars may have pushed the radiator and will cause the fans to rub the radiator until a leak occurs. I've had 30+ offs, bent the crash bars but not had this happen to me...but I know of several occurrences.
