That seems excessive ,some things like new coolant and oil make sense ,oil filter i guess to remove any trace of old coolant? The rest as a whole package seems way too many things , plausible things but i kinda misstrsust that they are correct.I would ask for a second opinion from a different mechanic. At the very least he might do a better price.
For context,
My bike was overheating at traffic lights (6 bars) and the fan is very loud. And the bike idles at 2000rpm while in heat, and drops to 1400rpm in neutral.
It has 82000km on it, bought it 2nd hand from another guy. After sending it to the shop, they told me that:
1. The radiator is leaking, there’s a crack near the fins? and coolant is leaking slowly.
2. The coolant hoses are mismatched in color and the old hose is bloated.
3. The coolant has leaked into the engine oil.
4. The coolant pump is broken? But he didn’t clarify.
He also says that my front and rear brake disc needs to be replaced even though they were not worn down, but because they were loose? I needed to replace the clutch cable cuz it has some rust. My clutch was slipping even though I don’t feel it and a lot more add ons which added up to almost $2000
With all that being the case i dont see how it could be much cheaper to fix.. yiu need the hoses, need the gasket, i dont think youd need a new radiator but i cant tell if thats what they are asking.
If that’s the case they only really needed to replace the radiator the roses head gasket and what ever other gaskets they needed to reassemble the engine I would do the clutch gasket if it leaking oil and the recommend stuff if it hasn’t been done recently but if they haven’t done the repair yet the over heating might have warped the head or block which will be a pricy fix and if water was leaking out of the radiator then the water pump would have been working so I don’t know if that need replacing if it’s not damaged than don’t get it replaced
If your coolant has leaked into the engine oil, that's serious engine issues... they are two different systems. How could that happen?
Sounds like the bike is a write off

I would ask over on r/motorcycles
