Was local, in stop and go traffic and riding to breakfast this AM and just after I noticed that the fan hadn’t kicked on,  I suffered a sudden loss of coolant coming from behind the left side chrome grill mount. All added water flows from there, so, I’m looking for a radiator and a replacement grill for my scooter. Partzilla says they’re not available so please keep your eyes and ears open and pass this request along to anyone who might help. Thanx in advance.

The fan switch lives at the lower right of the radiator.  Maybe it has come out or loose?  Might explain why the fan wasn't cycling on.

Nevertheless...

You could try out a local radiator shop.  They may be able to repair, clean and check for good pressure.

Or...

You may find a good used radiator here:  https://pinwallcycle.com

Rocky Mountain ATV/MC shows that the radiators are available new, but they're $700.  Shocked

Good Luck!

I was lucky that it was simply an upper radiator hose. I still could use the radiator grill though. I’ll remove the temp sender and give it a scrub. I had installed a manual switch but it wouldn’t toggle. Could have been way worse.
