I have installed the thermal bypass thing correctly, I believe. And hope, too, because I don't think I can try again without new hoses.

I'm going to fill it with distilled water for now while I study how to move to the waterless coolant, and in the meantime, I'll put it back together, wash it, and ride it.

This bike was mid when I bought it, and kind of overpriced. I've taken it from a dime-a-dozen beginner scoot to something really cool. The thing is now one of the baddest 250s around. I hope to run down the new 400s. RT:

Oh yeah, also I rebuilt and upgraded the brakes.

I put orl in it and started it just now. It ran with no weird noises and no red light, so I win.

There's still no coolant in it. The guy who makes the upgrade components I got for it didn't include instructions. I emailed him he sent this long reply with youtube and forum links, so I have to study that, and the new coolant I got requires zero water in the engine, so I have to figure out how to truly purge everything (leaf blower?).

I'll do that stuff tomorrow. Then I shall ride. The rest of what it needs I can sort out on the go. I hope I installed the flywheel key in the correct orientation, or it is gonna be slow.RT:
