Nicely done. The Kawi coolant I have used (Aluma-Cool) is NOT prediluted. I consider this is a big plus over prediluted coolants because when you flush, you always have several ounces of almost pure distilled water left in the engine even if you take the hoses off to drain them of the water that won't pee out of the water pump drain plug. So, mix the Alumi-Cool with distilled water, 50/50 and then test it after running it in the engine a while to intermix with the residual flush water. Then you'll inevitably find that your coolant is too lean by the # of balls floating in the tester. Instead of topping off, add an ounce of pure coolant, run engine, test again. Repeat until you have your 5 balls floating then top off and fill the reserve bottle with 50/50. The sure fire way to get it perfect is to do a final flush with coolant, drain it and then add a fresh batch of coolant. That's what I do with my busa because suz coolant only comes in prediluted so it is impossible to add a full dose of pure coolant to compensate for flush water.
