Is it any good? (18 KX250F)



Does an oil cooler worth the money? Is it a good way to reduce overall heat from the bike, and will it perform better?



Will a Boyesen water pump cover & impeller be a better solution?


Can I put a higher pressure cap (is it even required?) without causing issues to any gaskets? (1.6 or 1.8).
Does it require after market hoses? Not sure how the system deals with higher pressure and which parts require an upgrade to overcome the increased pressure.

What is the cheapest way to run the bike cooler?


Sorry for all the questions LaughingSilly

Upgrade the water pump is step 1. After that is a radiator fan.

Unless youre boiling over or boiling your gas dont worry about it.

Oil coolers are a waste of money. Dont bother.

Twin Air has a chart that shows the oil cooler reduced the oil temp by 80F and the water temp by 60F

Which step is the high pressure cap?
After market hoses don't play any role besides bling factor?

High pressure caps raise boiling temps for the coolant. They do not help with cooling. Hoses are mostly bling. Smooth transitions help with turbulence but not enough to really justify them for cooling purposes.

Thanks!

Is the Twin Air ICEFLOW Coolant any good? (I can't get the other US known brands).

What about the Twin Air oil cooling chart? BS?

Looks to be the same thing as Evans. Do some searches for that, and you should get a good answer.

I use Evans, and really like it.

Can I use it in my KX250F? It's not the same as the manual says.
I must flush the entire system?

Any other good coolant? (Prestone, Motorex, IADA, Motul, WURTH, ZEREX. Putoline).
