Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Coolant

Post by SoTexBill »

Does anyone have any thoughts on coolant to use after flushing the system?
I have heard that you must use the Kawi branded stuff or you will have leaks/issues but... I am willing to let that stroll as dealer talk....

Any aluminum compatible coolant is fine. Same coolant as most cars today use. :thmup:

I recommend using Prestone 50/50 premixed coolant. With all the aluminum car engines out there today it is hard to find a coolant that isn't aluminum friendly.

I was told this is better than any coolant on the market?

Anyone tried this or know someone who has in their bike? Thinking of switching to this.... :?:
