Default Pushed in radiator fin

Never noticed this till 4ish years later after I dumped the bike on ice that a row was pushed in. Would this affect the cooling and should this be something I get fixed soon? It was pre radiator guards of course

At long as it doesn't leak you should be good to go. That shouldn't affect cooling in any meaningful way.

I've hit bugs that caused more "damage." Ride it!

Air will still pass through the fins, maybe lost like 1% of cooling capacity, no big deal in my opinion, too.
