Whiskey, you hit upon the point I was referring to somewhat. No one should be running the minimal amount of coolant that's in a KLX or most motorcycles for that matter for the kind of mileage recommended for automobiles. And I agree with your 2-year schedule for automotive applications. In today's automotive world with some vehicles running 210 degree thermostats, I'm not sure why manufacturers think 5 years is suitable. They're probably just succumbing to environmental pressures. Additionally I recommend using distilled water only...not drinking water in jugs...to mix with the coolant. I change my KLX coolant at least once a year.

Oh, forget to mention, I also suggest never exceeding the 50/50 general recommendation of water and antifreeze with a higher percentage of antifreeze...unless you live in some absolutely unholy extreme temp condition. I like a 60/40 of more water to antifreeze, as the water is a more efficient coolant than antifreeze. You have to have enought to push the boilover point up and keep the coolant from freezing. 60/40 usually covers this in most parts of the world. The KLX in particular has a very efficient cooling system.

 

Agreed 100% TNC

 

Alright gang. I've still got the 300 kit, and I really want to buy some suspension parts. Willing to take the lo$$ in order to free up some cash. Price dropped to $380 shipped to CONUS. This price will go back if I buy the suspension bits first.

you should just use it yourself.. i dont think anybody is gonna give you what you want for it. I would be interested but when i can buy a bill blue 300 big bore for $80 more... yes yours is better quality but most people wouldnt where either one out for a long time. Maybe put it up on ebay? You may find a buyer who is looking for that type of kit you have. Good luck

 

If it's not sold first, I'll be doing exactly that this winter. I'd just like to sell it so I can afford to upgrade my suspension (I've found I need suspension more than motor).

Yeah, they're both durable...but the sleeved kit costs a bunch more upfront, and you don't get an extra cylinder out of the deal.

I've had it on ebay, but I don't really want to sell it there, as they charge so damn much in fees. Anyway, thanks for wishing me luck - I think I need it.

 

ya suspension works better for me than most people probably because im 135, so i definatley want the more motor!!!!

 

$380 sounds like a pretty good deal, but I gotta agree, suspension first. Especially if you're doing any bumpy dirt work. What's BB paying for an exchange cylinder? He charges $175. Even if he only paid $100, at the end of the day you could be getting this setup for closer to $280.

 

It's gone.
