ZEREX DEX-COOL antifreeze contains no silicates,phosphates,borates,

why bother?
 
Has anyone here ever heard of EVANS NPGR "waterless" coolant, this stuff is amazing, it has boiling point of 400F degrees and is good down to -10F, and when it does go below -10 it actually shrinks instead of expanding. What else ? Well, it's good for 100,000 miles! So Evans reccomends draining it into a clean pan (no matter what color it comes out) and re-using it for 100,000 miles. It goes for about $38.95 per/gal but this will do 2-3 bikes depending on size & coolant capacity and its well worth it, especially for those on 4-strokes. Keep in mind that Prestone 50/50 boils at 276F degrees, and it boils before it boils over & this creates little bubbles in the jackets which makes "hot spots", Evans doesnt have any evaporative properties. Just thought this might help.

EVANS is the stuff to use.

I have read you can go with a lower pressure cap when using EVANS. Given that, the need to switch to the higher pressure ktm cap is removed if you switch to Evans Coolant.

I use the Evans coolant. It works very well, with no boil over issues even under the most demanding conditions. A few key things with the Evans coolant...

1) get all of the water out of the system before you use it.
2) allow room for expansion - do not fill the cooling system too high

I back the radiator cap off a bit to run at a lower system pressure.

Regarding DEX cool or any other coolant, NEVER mix different colored coolants in even small quantities as some of the combinations are very corrosive to aluminum.
