i just installed one of the new trail tech's vapors in my 05 honda 450R and while installing the coolant temperature sending unit i lost some of the coolant (it leaked out while removing the hose) to make up for that lost coolant can i add a little water to it, or is it the type that doesnt take water? i dont want to mess it up by adding water can i?

It won't hurt to add water to top it off. If you want to replace the coolant all together, I would suggest Engine Ice. It's good stuff;)

it took me around 3 hours to install. you have the power wire, the RPM wire (that you wrap around the spart plug wire about 10 times), the coolant cuff thing that goes in the radiator hose, and then the speed o meter. it went fairly easy to install
