Anyone installing this 300cc kit needs to make sure when refilling the coolant system that you get both radiators full and air bubbles worked out. There was a few problems on the first 2015 batch just because the factory didn't fill the cooling system to capacity and had air in the radiators. So I would fill it as much as it will take , then ride it around and keep checking it and adding water till it stays full. I remember a bunch of us were in a tizzy about where our coolant was going. And all it needed was to get air bubbles worked out of system.
When I did my swap, I had the coolant drained into a jar so I knew how much came out. When I finished swapping the kit and poured the same coolant back in ,it only took 1/2-3/4 of the jar. So I started engine and let it get up to temp , thermostat open and circulating coolant. Let it cool down and checked the level in radiator and it took the rest of coolant what was in the jar plus more to fill the overflow bottle.
So just keep and eye on the coolant level and all should be good. rj
