Default Kool-Aid WARNING

A few Months ago I baught a container of Kool Aid from my local motorcycle shop and put it in my sons raptor it said it would help my bike run cooler. I race the drags and the hill at gordons wells I figured if it will help it run cooler why not ? Well last time I was riding my bike started overheating I could not believe it my bikes have never had any problems like this . I am very maticulouse about my bikes . Well when I opened my radiator when I got home to my disbalief the whole system was contaminated with white chunkies . after taking apart my whole cooling system I found that the Kool Aid had attacked my cast alluminum pieces and started eating them up? I followed the instructions to a T I drained my whole system and flushed it out before I filled the system with that CRAP. Well I flushed the system as best I could and cleaned out the radiator the best I could with a system flusher and about a hundred gallons of water but I still think that I am going to have to replace the radiator.
Hope nobody else ever has to go thrue this.
I run engine ice in my bomb I checked it this weekend and the radiator looked fine.

Thats similar to the Green Slime that people use to stop leaks in thier tires - It will eat holes in your aluminum rims.
