I'm sure I'll be here. Nothing else to do. Just heading to my cousin's place on Sunday morning. Maybe up to Miami on Monday. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I'd like to get the frame powdercoated, but need to figure out how to deal with VIN issues when you do it.

The thread is over in the Zuki section under Z400 corrosion. This IS a problem with ALL 05-06 Z400s.. With no fix available.. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

I am a diesel mechanic. We have to put a coolant additive in all antifreeze to prevent corrocion and Cavitation. In a diesel engine the combustion gasses mixed with the antifreeze turn into a sorta acid, so the additive prevents this. Someone needs to do a test with one of these new quads and a NAPA coolant additive and see if it fixes the prob, a bottle is only a couple bucks, and for a quad 1 bottle should be good for the life of the engine! It's a thought!
