Coolant

Post by SoTexBill »

Does anyone have any thoughts on coolant to use after flushing the system?
I have heard that you must use the Kawi branded stuff or you will have leaks/issues but... I am willing to let that stroll as dealer talk....

Any aluminum compatible coolant is fine. Same coolant as most cars today use. :thmup:

I recommend using Prestone 50/50 premixed coolant. With all the aluminum car engines out there today it is hard to find a coolant that isn't aluminum friendly.

I was told this is better than any coolant on the market?

Anyone tried this or know someone who has in their bike? Thinking of switching to this.... :?:
