Looking at leaving Poulsbo at about 9am, riding the Northern Peninsula, maybe to the coast. I'd do the mountains but there is a ton of fresh snow over 1000 feet. Email me matteeanne@...

I noticed my KLR has "blue" coolant. Hmmm. This is the regualr stuff you get at the auto parts store right? Since the bike is going on 3 years I was wondering if you thought I should change it. I do the oil every spring before I start the bike up and I guess I should change the coolant too. Anyone have a preference on when to do this? Every so many years or so many miles? Does anyone live in the Chicago area and want to do the doohickey for me? I love this bike!

It's probably the phosphate-free/silicate-free stuff like HondaCool. I use plain old fashioned green stuff and change it every year, but once my current supply of green runs out I'll be switching all my vehicles to Zerex G-05 and reducing the coolant changes to every other year. *Always use distilled water!* -- Blake Sobiloff http://sobiloff.typepad.com/> San Jose, CA (USA)

i just got around changing my coolant after 8k and it was blue also , probably the safer stuff versus green goop. i put in some "engine ice" and noticed a considerable decrease in my overall temp and and when the bike gets really hot riding in town or on the trail , it cools down faster when hitting the highways or open roads. good stuff and its non-toxic. shawn a15 ohio --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "Blake Sobiloff" wrote:
