    As the bike is running a bit warm I am thinking about getting a replacement radiator and replacing the hoses at the same time. If I did this and wanted to put Evans waterless coolant in would I still need to flush/prep the system?

    I would flush as you're bound to still have old coolant residue in the jacket of the engine

    Yes as above, would still be coolant in the engine. I used the flush on mine but just did it with the 2 litre prep doesn't have to be 100% full to save some money

    I see you used different Evans to the one I bought the other day LC.. guess there is not much difference, I bought the Power Sports R, see you put in the PS 180. I didn't buy the flush, but after seeing this think I will pick some up tomorrow.

    Evans recommend flushing before using any of their waterless coolants

    Yeah I think they rebranded some of it, they still list the ps 180? You defo need the flusher to remove the water otherwise dilutes the waterless Evans reducing its efficincy
