After about 40-50 hours of run time, engine coolant should be drained and replaced. It really is as easy as it looks!

I didn’t have a dad around to show me these things when I was a kid. Videos like this help guys like who are raising kids become the dad we wish we had.
I know i have commented before, but for a 33yr old who has had zero experience with bikes, and have only just learnt to ride a 125cc pit bike, this channel, and you have taught me so much, and has given me confidence to give it a go with repairs/maintience, and cleaning em up! Thankyou so much mate, much respect, from Australia.
Progress?
Rest in peace big dawg !! Love your videos and your knowledge ! One of UA-cam’s BEST !!
First video i ever watched and heard someone mentions oil coming from weep/inspection hole. Everyone else just says look for coolant and thats it as if oil cant come through there also. Nice vid
Thank you for everything cam rest in paradise
As the owner of the same generation of cr125 I'm loving these videos. Thank you!!!
Thanks so much, my dad usually teaches me things about cars and trucks, but its hard to know where stuff is and how to change the things like coolant on a bike. This video helped me alot, thanks again. (I just got my first bike a couple days ago so yeah😂)
I bent my left rad on my 2020 CRF 450 so I took it off to straighten it up, I'm going to try the Engine Ice for sure.
I’m needing to change the coolant on my KTM 400. Haven’t done it before so I figured I’d just look it up. And what’s crazy is I already went and got the coolant my nearest bike shop recommended for that bike and it’s the same you have!

Tech Tip: to prevent coolant from gushing out, crack open the radiator cap, don't take it off completely.
Your vids ARE AWESOME they really are in a class of their own
just got a 2018 crf250r and the first day i got it i was letting it warm up and i went inside to figure out how to change the mapping. I let it warm too long and ended up overheating it and the anti-freeze expanded and came rushing out the overflow. the good thing is i had just came outside when it started releasing so i immediately shut the bike off. it scared the shit out of me but i ended up just having to put water in the radiators and now its fine.
I love watching your videos I come from your bothers channel and FairPlay you give some really good knowledge and I learned lots from your videos😊
Evan’s 100% coolent is the best no water to rust insides and boiling point is 300’c
How far do you fill it up??
I don’t take the drain bolt fully out I take it about half way out so it doesn’t go everywhere, and I also run the bike for a minute or so with the cap off to bleed the system and the top it up if needed and then put the cap back on obviously and then it’s fit to ride
Ended up putting engine ice in my crf450. Seems like it runs cooler.
1yr later. How is it running? My 2012 runs hot
@@iphone3gsdivine I've used this stuff in my bikes for over 3 years man, if you're worried about this stuff hurting your bike don't be, it does not use any of the harmful crap that some other coolants can use and it's good down to I believe -24 Fahrenheit if I remember correctly, I know it's at least -20.
Can you use for any dirt bike
@@KonnectionZ along as it is aluminum or steel, not mixed metal.
I’m currently running engine ice 🧊. This shit works I love it. I’m thinking about running it in my Jeep lol that’s how much I like it
Do you do straight coolant or 50/50 with distilled water?
Nicholas Calvetto with engine ice that he was using in he video ( I use on all my bikes as well 👍🏼) you don’t mix with water. Just pour it in 👍🏼
What if you don’t have kick starter ?
How do you know when the radiator is full?
Nice video! I just changed my coolant but it has leaked through the valve cap when the engine was “normal hot”. I had only experienced this during very slow enduro tracks..what could it be?
Should you flush your radiator out with a additive before you change brands/colours of coolants? Great tips & advice you provide.👍
3 years late, but if you plan to run wngine ice, always flush your radiator with distilled water. you flush it cause engine ice doesn’t go well with other coolant, and you use distilled water because there is no harsh minerals in it unlike tap.
So that bleeder on the top of the cylinder is there just for looks?
I bought a new bike in 2020 (2020kx250) and have only put a few hours on it but i noticed the coolant is a bit low i dont know what type of coolant the dealer filled it with originally so i dont want to top it off with engine ice should i do a full flush and just replace it all?
I really like your videos!
Noticed that your front pipe has some dents, I like to see a vid of you fixing that. :)
Thanks! To fix the pipe dents it takes special equipment to do it safely so I'll be sending it out. But I hope to do a video on that.
What about a 4-stroke with no kickstart
Thank you sir! Only your video is the best and professional i've seen. And my engine ice coolant just arrive ☝🏻💪🏻
can you make a video on what issue would cause your bike to stall when put in 1st gear bike stalls and make knocking sound when pulling in the clutch
Check out his carb jetting video bet it helps.
This video was helpful 💯
I just replaced my coolant and now it seems to leak out of the cap when the bike is hot. Could I have over filled it ?
You said to use the kick start to flush out any Air bubbles after adding coolant but my bike is an electric start do how could I check for air bubbles
does the engine ice work well in 2017 yz450f ? also how often are you suppose to change the coolant? thanks
1 of the hardest video ever done, Lol.
Thanks for uploading interesting videos. I have a question for you. My Kawasaki KX4 50 F motorcycle gets hot and leaks water. What will it have? Tank you
My coolant keeps bubbling out the overflow and the level is not full ever. Theres also a little air pressure under the cap when i take it off to check, what does this mean?
1:23 I thought Cameron dropped the bike on his self for a second been there done that too many times😂😭🤦🏽♂️
Will this help I got a 2006 450 today took it out and after ride to see where to go next wen idol it was leaking coolant through a hose is that the coolant over flow so when I stop turn it off? And let it cool down if we’re stop for a min and if where not just keep ridding and it should
Cool off as I goo since I’ll be up 3/4 gear ?
my KTM 250 sxf is over heating then bogs out after about 10 minutes of riding.i do trails along with other guys they all have 250s and never have problems so theres definitely an issue with my bike.coolant levels are great i live in northern ireland so its certainly not warm weather related can ya give me a few ideas to what it can be please.thank you
I will add this to the list of things I need to do on my 07 CRF 250. I have been putting off the chain and sprocket and after watching your video on that...I think mine is as bad as the one you had in the video as an example...LOL...
Haha not good at all! Gotta get on that so you can enjoy spring riding. We do have a sprocket and chain available for your bike on our website. Send us a message if you're interested and we'll get you hooked up with a discount.
can i use the autozone antifreeze/coolant 50/50 no water needed for my kx85
I have a 92 CR500 Honda the cases on the engine or magnesium the radiator is aluminum you recommend ice in that also
First off,I'm jealous! I'm old so 92 I was senior in HS & I wanted one spook bad! Anyway I'm pretty sure you are good to go but may wanna check their website to make sure...ps "Don't flip it backwards on ya self, Lucky!"
What do you think about Evans waterless coolant?
You feel it up all the way ?
I have a KX 85 and it says to mix the coolant with water do I have to mix the Engine ice
Is the CRF250R a small-or-big radiator cap? Is there ever a reason to increase your cap pressure, i.e. (1.1 to 1.5)????
Thank you
I’m on an rmz450 and last Sunday it was about 76 degrees on the trails i was with my quad bros and they saw my bike was leaking while Overheating i want to know will this do me justice while in idle or at top speed
Just did a rebuild on my 2007 yz 250 after 2 hours of ride time noticed the coolant was leaking from the overflow toob any suggestions on what to do thanks
What if you don't have a kickstarter? My 18 yz450 is electric only.
Can I use that coolant on my Honda 250l 2017?
Will this be good for any year bike and size I have a yz250f 2017 ?
Bret Scudder should be. Check owner’s manual for any other boots to loosen. On my 17 KTM 250 there is a bolt on top of the head that needs to loosen to help get air out of the system as well as the drain bolt. Also rock the bike back and forth after putting new coolant in that help get rid of air pockets.
What do you do if bike is electric start mines a 2020 kx450
I know you said top fully but how many oz would you guess.
Cameron Niemela. Just a couple questions. I love the video and its great but I bought my RMZ 450 used about a month ago, after doing some basic maintenance, I noticed it looks slightly low on coolant,. Not sure what was used before but its blue. Ive heard that I would need to do a full flush in order to change coolants. Do i need to run distilled water a couple times to flush it and then add the new coolant? My overall goal is just to have the coolant level correct, I don't need or want to switch coolants just not sure what was used to start with. The bike has 58hrs on it and not sure if it was ever changed(coolant that is) So what steps should I take from here?
What about a cylinder drain bolt ?
Awesome job dude love the vids you really good at explaining the steps clearly and at the perfect pace love it keep it up
Much appreciated man! Lots more to come
Looking forward man you're definitely a huge inspiration to me with dirt bikes and all that jazz
Hello I have a technical question if you or anyone can answer please that really knows. I Have a WR450 with
a 1.1 bar cap 16psi.. It never overheats and always stays under 180..if I put a 1.8 bar 26psi cap will thar cause undo steess to hoses or gaskets??
I know water boils at 225 with a 1.1 so if it stays nowhere near there any cap over 1.1 should be fine is that right?
How much coolant do i fill the radiator ?
So what if the hole at 1:36 on my bike is filled with dirt? What do I do?
I just recently got a 2003 Cr 125 and it’s low on coolant can I use any brand ?
Do I need to flush it before adding coolant again?
what are you using to rinse the coolant circuit before filling it with new coolant? or can you just drain the old one, than refill with new without rinsing?
+cadwarrior ...
I flush mine twice, with distilled water. Also, make sure you siphon the liquid out of the overflow reservoir.
What pressure cap are you guys running on your crf450 with the engine ice?
terragrappler1 1.8
Wow thank you!
I guess you can add water wetter to distilled water only for the best cooling..
Quick and simple thanks.
I have 07 125 sx ktm. It leaks engine oil in coolant or coolant in engine oil. I have changed head gasket and waterpump sealings but still oil turns gray and fresh pink coolant turns gray also. What i should do
Another good video
Thanks!
Quick and simple thanks!!
hey man would you happen to know where i can find a pressure test kit for the cooling system on my crf450r?
What is considered "topped off"?
Is it when the fluid reaches the neck of the radiator?
Or is it when the fluid reaches the top of the radiator components inside the radiator?
I’d say it’s just beneath the rim of the radiator. The top of the components inside the radiation should be submerged.
Hey man! Very beautiful cr! What are The differences between the my 2003 and The my 2005 cr please?
Thank You! There isn't too much of a difference between the 03 and 05. The only change is cylinder, exhaust valve, and intake as far as I know.
ReVive Moto Parts I have a 03 and I have a lot of fun with her! I love The Honda cr 125 but my clutch is very hard, could you do a video of The restore of it please?
It's possible your cable need to be lubed or replaced. I made a video on that a while back.
ua-cam.com/video/YS_gHf8FUDA/v-deo.html
ReVive Moto Parts thank you very much! When I Will have more time I would like to clean also my cr like yours..🤤
You're very welcome. Best wishes on cleaning up your bike! You won't want to ride it again and get it dirty haha.
Why after long rides does coolent come out the over flow tube btw I have a 2000 kx125 2 stroke
It means your bike is running very hot. Try installing a fan or put in some engine ice.
could you do a video on replaceing fork seals?
Yes, hoping to do one soon!
Do you have to mix it with anything?
No
Oh my. What a nice cr r! Looks like you don’t even ride it keep up the good work I’ve been here since 500 subs. Why’d you change the channel name?
No way that's crazy man! Thanks! I changed the name to make it more of a personal brand.
Cameron Niemela oh I see so you can be kind of more diverse
Yeah exactly. Having a specific name limits me.
Hi bro love your videos, i have the same bike, will 1 bottle be enough to fill ?
Thanks man! Yes, one jug is enough
@@CameronNiemela ok thanks for the reply bro.
You have an opinion on Evans waterless? I have been running it for a year now on my 450r but I never see anyone else running it so I worry that maybe it's not a great idea since it's able to get so hot compared to others.
I personally haven't used Evans before. I've heard of great reviews however. Coolant brand isn't going to make that much difference on how cool a bike runs.
Thanks for the reply. I just wonder with the fact that it has no water and is able to get so much hotter than other coolants, if that can end up being a bad thing for my bike.
Yeah I'm not sure of the technology behind it. If you're hesitant about using it switch to Engine Ice or another reputable brand.
Hello, no water needed for that coolant? Thanks
Nope,just run it straight up 100%
Awesome video man!
Thanks for watching!
Thank u
Keep up with these awsome videos 💯💯💯
Thanks man!!
Love this channel.
Will my bike blow up when using the kick starter while doing this?
No
Just don’t run the bike without coolant
YES
Awesome stuff! thanks for the info!
Thanks for watching man!!
Subed bro thanks for your vids really helpfull
Hi bro wat’s the best coolant for crf450 2018 and oil engine l can use 10w-60 motul
Shareef Alhozeel I use what he uses Engine ice ( what he has in this video) in my little 50 cc and in my KTM 250. Really keeps the temps down.
Why dose my kx450 fuel injected splatter
hey, i know this video is a little old, but my 2013 crf450r is overheating and radiator fluid is pouring out onto my exhaust. I'm turning it into a supermoto and i cant have that happening. I'm planning on installing a boysen super cooler water pump and changing the fluid to the engine ice. Is there anything else i should do to keep my engine cool while driving like a grandma in the city?
I also have aftermarket radiators installed
@@grantfromspacee,
Coolant in the exhaust... sounds like a bad head gasket.
@@2DclanSnipingTeam it's not leaking out of my exhaust. It's leaking out the overflow of the radiator, onto my exhaust lol. I just need to make some mods to keep it from over heating, that's what I need advice on; any advice?
Will this work for my 2003 yamaha pw80? Please help
PW80 does not use coolant, it is air cooled.
Where Buy
The coolant can be purchased from Rocky Mountain ATV.
My bike me has been making a constant whining noise even if I’m completely stopped or riding. I don’t know what it is helppp
Is it like a mini turbo noise? My Crf250r is doing something similar.
Im new to this.. so how often should i change the coolant if im riding just casually? Like after how many kilometers? Also, where you dump the used coolant? Thanks!
He said about every 40-50 hours of run time. It doesn’t matter how many Km you go, it’s about run time
hey what song is it called at the start
It is Ship Wrek & Zookeepers - Ark
+ReVive Moto Parts thanks mate
denkst du du hist geschickt?
god blesS u bro
Can use car coolant ? Lol , if not where do i get dirtbike coolant ?
Online like Motorsport.com or cyclegear.com or your local bike dealer.
I feel like an idiot for not knowing how 😂
Lol, I figured it would be similar to changing the oil I just didn’t know where the drain cap was or if there was anything little things I needed to do (like kicking it over to free air bubbles)
Same intro as polecat!
ikingbeasti haha I notice the same thing and was wondering if anyone realized it
You forgot to drain the head
So no water okay cool
