Kawasaki x2 cooling question

[Zxkyler]

Whats up guys, quick question. Where should my main cooling line be connected to on my westcoast header on my Kawasaki X2 650? There are three places to hook up to on the header, two brass fittings on either side and a plugged one in the middle. One of the brass fittings is already capped off that you can see in the photo. The middle one that is plugged with a bolt is circled in red. I had it on the uncapped aft fitting last season but the motor blew up from what I believe to be a cooling issue. I am NOT currently running dual cooling on this ski.

Thanks in advance for the help!

The middle or the rear. You can also split it and run it to both front and rear, but make sure if you have 2 lines off the head you tee/wye them back together or use restrictors to keep the pressure up in the cylinder.

Thanks for the reply Vumad, I ended up plugging the rear and front, and having the main cooling go into the middle kinda like the oem header setup. I only have one 3/8 fitting on the head though with my stock head. How does this look? The line going to the pisser/stinger is coming from the back side of the pipe where it loops up and back down

switch the stinger and the pisser so the pisser is inline. Less pressure to the stinger. Also consider a flow control valve or some other option to reduce the water into the stinger. The X2 waterbox stays very wet due to its design. You can run it just fine the way you have it.

Awesome! Thank you so much for the help!

Also i like to use 90* fittings on the head and head pipe and put a flush kit between.
