Xciting 400i coolant change help

[AlexisStarlyn]

I attempted to change the coolant, as it it is starting to get cold (and it gets to around -40F here).
I thought I did everything correctly, but now the engine temp meter is maxed out and blinking.
Any idea what I messed up?

I've not changed mine, so just guessing.
On other's I have changed, after letting it run just enough for the bars to start showing, I shut it off and checked the level again. Always had to add some.
Same with car. Repeat the process UNLESS you didn't add some, then it should be good.

Again, I haven't done this with mine or any Kymco. This is my first Kymco. But if I'm wrong, maybe this will get someone to chime in.

You got me..

We're still in the 90s during the day, dropping into the mid-70s at night.

Do you have the service manual? If not, I can upload and link to the appropriate chapter.

Just let me know.

That’d be very helpful! I’d appreciate it greatly

Changing the coolant already?
How old is this 400i?

3months soon, but it get’s to -40 here, meaning it needs a 60-40 mix. Wanted to change it before it got too cold

E.T.,
 That's a nice looking manual!
Where'd it come from? Who makes this manual?

E.T. Did you get the rest of  the 400i maintenance manual? Could you send me a copy?

Besides making sure the level is full, make sure that the system is thoroughly bled. But probably not in that order, since a full radiator is likely to spill everywhere while you're trying to bleed it.

I've got the entire manual, but it cost me something like $50 at Cyclepedia.

I can upload one or two chapters at a time, but not the whole thing, as it's far too big.

….and probably not proper.

Nice pix, though!
