New KTM owner here. Also my first 4 stroke! Curious as to whether or not my dark colored sediment in my coolant is normal. This is a 2001 400MXC about 6 months old with NO problems at all. It's still green, but why so much sediment? In years of many 2 smokes, I've never seen this before. Looks like silty black sand. When I drained the coolant it came out black initially, then green, and black again toward the end. The pic is from the bottom of a clear jar with a light behind it. Do I have a problem?:think
FYI!
The bike has never run hot or overheated.
Runs like new.
Oil change is completely normal.
It does not 'weep' out of the cylinder head.
The coolant level was normal.
The only reason I drained the coolant is I ran into a tree and bent a radiator a bit. Took it off to tweak it back straight.
Thanks for any help you can provide!:think
