Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your Bike

Ensure the bike is on a stable surface and the engine is cool. Wearing gloves and safety goggles is recommended to protect against spills.

2. Drain the Old Coolant

Locate the coolant drain bolt on the engine. Place a drain pan underneath and use a socket wrench to remove the bolt. Allow the old coolant to fully drain into the pan.

3. Flush the System (Optional)

If desired, flush the system with distilled water to remove any residual coolant or debris. Reinstall the drain bolt temporarily, fill the system with distilled water, run the engine briefly, then drain again.

Reinstall the drain bolt securely. Using a funnel, pour the new coolant into the radiator until it reaches the appropriate level. Be sure to use coolant that is compatible with the KTM 50SX specifications.

5. Bleed the System

Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. This helps remove air pockets from the system. Check the coolant level again and top off if necessary.
