water in the radiator dried up

Hmm today after came back from work I was cruising at 120 kmh and wanted to go faster all of a sudden felt a lost of power at top gear change, then I was panicking and slowing down the bike then cruise back home at 70-80 kmh speed. Bike felt very hot then usual, after a quick check I found out that water in my radiator dried up

I wonder why or how this could happen? my mechanic forgot to fill it up or it dried up because of heat?

Found out they didn't fixed the radiator pipe properly, it touches the exhaust extractor then cracked [emoji52]

Good you found it. I hope it hasn't damaged the engine!

Today I got my bike back from the shop, rode it from the shop to office and it behave brilliantly. The shop modified my water line like this seems much safer compare to the original path, will this have side effect on the bike?

Is that picture after they've fixed it again?
That radiator pipe is still too close to the exhaust!
Do they not know that rubber melts when it is touching an exhaust?
I'm not sure what pipework that bike has as standard bit that just doesn't look right.

yeah I know I did mention it to them earlier about it, so they did a new pathway for the water pipe, seems now it has a good clearance from the exhaust extractor. Lower pict shows like its still near but I have check clearance is good.
