Coolant volume KDX220?

My Cyclcepedia manual doesn't have the coolant system volume, and I've got a empty coolant system heading into a long weekend.
(Canada's long weekend is tomorrow, not next weekend)
Planning to pick up 3 liters (6 pints) of Engine Ice. Will that be enough to fill the empty coolant system on the mountain on the long weekend?
Thanks!
Happy riding this long weekend!

Pretty sure a standard jug of engine ice will fill it at least twice, probably more

not sure if this answers your question, but maybe enough for reference:
My manual is for a 200, it lists 1.1 L- reserve tank full level including radiator & engine.
I have the supplament for the 220 but it doesn't list any capacities.

sweet. thanks guys. I'd hate to have to top up the engine ice with water.

Don't be surprised when you will have to
Depended on the terrain I usually have to top mine many times throughout the ride

turns out the blue juice is not the solution to my overheating problems.
However, a new 1.6 outlaw rad cap is! A friend loaned it to me, and I spun my way up a nasty muddy, loose climb screaming away in first gear. Normally I would have lost all my coolant on that hill, but the 1.6 rad cap held it all in! I could hear the bubbling, but no spewing
