Default question on the corrosion issue with older cannondales

I understand that the older cannondales had the same problem and thought you guys could help........i brought in my kfx400 to the dealership and of course it had begun to corrode. Under the warranty theyre going to replace everything fan cover etc. etc. Right now thouigh the dipsh*ts at kawasaki ordered me a new cover but its the same magnesium one. I explained that i NEED a aluminum one though. Im in the process of arguing with them and want to know if i should just use the same magnesium cover but with evans coolant or if i should order the aluminum one? thanks!

Save your fustration and get your quad back. Flush the system and than use the Evans. Do they even have an Alum one to order?

You could always Powder coat the area and than run Evans.

If they wont buy you a aluminum cover just run the evans. You will never have a problem or have to mess with the cooling system again.
