Ugh, this is going to get expensive

To add to the list - when I installed my vapor thermo sensor the other day, I drained my coolant. I noticed that there were black and gray specs/slivers of stuff in the coolant. I did a few drain and fills with just distilled water but unfortunately it did nothing at all. I checked today after just replacing the coolant and the specs/slivers are back.
On the plus side, my bike runs very cool. Cruising on the road it won't ever reach temperatures over 160 degrees fahrenheit. When I am sitting idling, unless I let it idle there for more than 10 minutes, it won't even come close to anything over 200 degrees. It has grazed 215 while I purposely let it sit and idle for as long as I could to make sure that the fan was working correctly.

9,000+ miles and i've never washed the klx...the most i've done has been lube the chain...i'll spray lube on the front sprocket to get the crud off with a toothbrush or take it off....i'll sometimes wipe the plastic with a wet paper towel...that's about it...
