[QUOTE="Lissa, post: 673729, member: 30656"] I used to race enduros on an 88 KX 500, pretty much the same bike as yours. Our enduros are extremely tight and I had the same problems as you do. I tried all the additives that were available then (late 80's) and nothing helped. Jetting was spot on. I tried a new radiator cap, but that didnt seem to do much. I did make a overflow bottle that would catch the coolant. I do abuse the clutch quite abit so Im sure that contributed to the overheating problem that I had. Actually that was probably the main reason. I eventually came to the conclusion that the KX 500 was not the right bike for me and my riding style and the terrain that I was riding so I switched to a 250. I do miss the 500 at times though.
