I've got a KLE 500 and by design they have coolant circulating through the carburettors and I have always wondered what the purpose of this is. If I remove the coolant circulation from the carbs will it make any difference? It just seems like unessisary pipes that can be eliminated.  Perhaps it was designed for a colder climate and is not needed in a warmer climate we find in South Africa.  I'd appreciate it if anyone can shed some light on this mysterious Kawasaki design logic.
