[QUOTE="Luv2Ride, post: 44437, member: 20653"] red: I sure know how frustrating this can be. Here is what I did, should help you too even though you are in a different climate. I found that by removing the Devol guards and replacing the factory plastic guards (they provide the best velocity of air across the radiators) worked well along with the mixture of coolant that I found worked best for me. I ended up using half a bottle of water wetter mixed with distilled water. I also found another product offered by either prestone or penske and I think it is called coolant conditioner. This stuff cost about half of what water wetter does and it works just as well if not better - I used the same mixture as with the water wetter. The key to the cooling systems on these bikes is finding what mixture works best at your climate and also making certain that there is no air in the system. You can bleed the air from the system by loosening the screw on the top of the cylinder head until coolant comes out consistently then re-tighten the screw (not too tight). The bike should not be running when you do this. I also tap on all the hoses to be sure there is no air stuck inside of them, when the screw is loose - of course. Don't forget that when the temperature is low you should use anti-freeze in the mixture because water wetter and the coolant conditioner that I mentioned only offer anti-corrosive and lubricating properties and will not protect you from freezing temperatures. Good luck and I hope that this helps. Aloha, Scot ------------------ '01 KDX220r Ride it Hard and Fast! [/QUOTE]
