It can be repaired.  It won't be that cheap and it probably won't be pretty.  I would consider repair.

Sorry to see what happened. shoot me if you want for this...

Can't you just use some Duc tape 

JB WELD!!!!

Only if you are inexperienced.

JB weld if you use it properly, aka mix it REALLY well and really get it in there, and sit back to let it cure will work wonders. i repaired a small crack on an old toyota block with it. Engine lasted like 350,000 miles or 500,000 miles, im not sure which, car was a daily driver for over 20 years. oil was only changed 3 times in its entire life. Hell it held the engine together.

you might want to let the JB weld harden just a tad bit, and do it with the cooler off. having it on its side might not get the JB weld to stick very weld since gravity wants to spit it out of the hole. Dont be afraid to get it messy on the outside, you can always clean it up, jsut work it into the crak real well.

Back when jet planes were first introduced people would just drain the gas out of the jet right into their cars. It yeilding only 4mpg, but it was free fuel that was gonna be dumped anyway.

Gasoline engines running on kerosene??

JB Weld can indeed work wonders, but think of the consequences if it doesn't.

A still broken oil cooler. I'm not seeing a downside here.

honestly, why take the chance that a 'fix' might not hold. get a replacement. although pretty weak sh*t if you did it to specs. maybe a warranty replacement?

It works more than not, you just need to test the system to make sure it works. Pressure test it, run the bike for a few, rev it etc. Remember to let it fully cure and then some. otherwise your gonnna have a nasty crash.

No backup wrench was used. The break does not surprise me.
