Coolant in KX500

(1/5) > >>

uncle albert:
Hi guys,
Here comes the newbie question of the month...
How much coolant does the KX500 take? Can anyone tell me?

KX500freak:
i just fill her up till its pooring out..
then i kick it till the fluid is spread through its system.
and the manual says to keep the level just above the radiatorchannels,
guess its just under a liter going in

hughes:
Going off memory I think spec was 1.4 quarts. But you can just fill it till it's full. Make sure you use the air bleed screw that is located on top of the head, this will ensure all the air is out of the cooling system (engine side). Again If I remmber correctly the 500's have a black plastic plug on top of the left side rad. I alway remove it to ensure the system can purge correctly while filling.

hughes:
Here's some pictures.
Crack open bleed screw, fill right side rad. until you have a solid stream of coolant flowing out of the bleed screw, then tighen the bleed screw, next remove the black plastic plug contuine to fill right side rad. until the left rad. is full and coolant is flow over into the right rad.(left and right side rads are join together at the top with a hose).

uncle albert:
Thats great, thanks for the info!
