I saw that on the bottle too. I just want to make sure when I change the coolant, this will not have any issues in my new
baby. I plan on flushing with distilled water. I also see a bleeder plug on top of the left radiator tank. Any thoughts on bleeding, and using this new coolant?
Also, what about the T-stat. Is there any issues with it, and should I just get a new one from Kawi? I found certain auto application T-stats work well in the XR's. Is there one that may be the same for the KX5?

im sure its not the "correct" way but i just took out the 8mm bolt at the bottom of the water pump. its the one with the copper washer on it. took off the rad cap and let the hose run for a few min, started it up for a few seconds and then repeated. filled up with new coolant and rode it, no bleeding for me. checked the level when it cooled off and it was fine.

Don't forget the bleeder on the top of the head, (left side top of head) don't want any air pockets down there.

OK, just two bleeders. Radiator and head.

slow600,
The blue honda coolant is good stuff. I read about it on some coolant site and have been using it ever since. I was just going to swap my blue honda coolant for some engine ice (for something to try). What info do you have that says they are the same thing? Cam.
