I don't have a LT500 manual (gave it away with the previous LT500 I had [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] ) so can anyone give me the cooling capacity in liters or ounces or whatever they use? I blew a head gasket on my last one because I didn't fill it enough, so I want to make sure that I get it right this time. I probably should have checked the fluid level after I had ridden it for a few minutes to check and see if it went down, but I didn't. Oh well. I guess you learn things.

Thanks!

 

As per the manual.

Solution capacity (total) (1.59/1.32 US/Imp Qt)
(reserve) (0.21/0.18 US/Imp Qt)

collant mixture 50 : 50 Mixture with distilled water only

If motor cycle is exposed to temps below -31 c (-24 F) the mixture should be increased to 55% or 60%
