Water for mixing
Use distilled water only. Water other than
distilled water can corrode and clog the alu-
minium radiator.
Anti-freeze
The coolant performs as rust inhibitor and
water pump lubricant as well as anti-freeze.
Therefore the coolant should be used at all
times even though the atmospheric temper-
ature in your area does not go down to
freezing point.
Required amount of water/coolant
Solution capacity (total): 2900 ml
(3.1/2.6 US/Imp. qt)
NOTE: This 50% mixture will protect the
cooling system from freezing at tempera-
tures above –31°C. If the motorcycle is to be
exposed to temperature below –31°C, this
mixing ratio should be increased up to
55% (–40°C) or 60% (–55°C). The mixing
ratio should not exceed 60%.
