G. Cooling System
Coolant
Use fresh water or normal tap water as the coolant water.
Do not use strong acid or alkaline water. Use of the genuine
Kawasaki Long-Life Coolant (LLC) mixed by 33 to 50 % is
recommended.
If the air temperature is expected to fall below 0 °C (32 °F),
fill the cooling system with Long-Life Coolant (LLC) and soft
water mix. As a general rule, the ratio of LLC should range
between 33% and 50% as shown in the table below. If the
ratio is below 33%, the system may develop rust, and if it is
above 50%, the engine may overheat.
