  1. Hi! I did a coolant flush on my 5th gen today, but run into some issues. Draining went fine, but I wanted to do a proper clean, so I poured in an mild mix of distilled water and white vinegar. When I went to start the bike, I noticed the idle creep up from about the normal cold start idle of 2000 rpm to 3500 rpm over about half a minutes time. It would stay at that rpm for a minute or so until the engine temp got about 90 C after which rpm would increase to about 4000 rpm. Rpms would also fluctuate a bit, and the water would come out in waved from the filler hole. Eventually, the overflow through the filler hole would be too violent, so I shut the bike off. See linked video I made (this was my second attempt which I did purely to document, and I forgot to bring back the rag and funnel I had used on my first flush. The result was a mess as the coolant was shooting out even more this time). Is this the infamous fast idle WAX unit messing it up for me? The bike has been standing in the garage unused since October, and this was my first time starting it up this season. It was running fine without any issues before. Sincerely thanks for any helpful responses!
