Hi what's the best radiator coolent for a kx 100 or is it just water to add

though there's several options out there...if you're just looking for a general all around coolant, then any 50-50 mix of water/antifreeze that's certified to protect aluminum, will work just fine...such as Peak, or Prestone which is what I run in my 250.

I run Zip-Ty in my 500 to prevent boil over, because they run rather hot in nature...and I have a bottle of Royal Purple-Purple Ice that I haven't had the chance to try yet.

not if you buy the 50-50 pre-mixed...like this...



if you buy straight antifreeze, then yes, you will have to add water to dilute it.

My bottle is exact same as that except without the 50/50 bit just says simply add 2 radiator and go just wondering if a should trust bottle or because it was a bike 2 add bit of water. Lol prob sounded thick

does your bottle say "DO NOT ADD WATER" anywhere on it?...if no, then it's probably not pre-mixed.

does your bottle have a mixing chart on the back label?...if yes, then it's straight antifreeze.

Just says simply add to radiator that's all no mixing chart no nothing mate. a doubt a will hav to

you're welcome

I should mention that it would be a good idea to check your manual for coolant adding procedures...I'm unfamiliar with the KX100, so I'm not sure if there is anything to be cautious about while filling the system...such as bleeding air from it. There might be a cap on the left rad that should be removed while filling it, I'm not sure.

Aye Av already flushed the stuff that was in before. Soo it shud be as easy as adding it into the radiator

it should be, but it wouldn't hurt to look into it either, just to be sure.

[B1G Y1N M4N50N]

Ok bud al give it a look up. As Av not got the manual fur it.

you could always call your local Kawie dealer, and hopefully you'll get someone that actually knows the answer....
or you could just keep an eye on the coolant level after it's been warmed up and run for a bit, and see if you need to add any.
I know on the 250's, there's just the plastic cap on the left radiator, that you're supposed to unscrew whilst filling the system to allow any air to bleed out.
