:006: Hi Steve and a belated welcome. Enjoy your new bike mate.

Any ethylene glycol antifreeze suitable for aluminium engines will be fine mixed 50/50 with water (best to use de-ionised water, specially if in a hard water area), or buy ready diluted ethylene glycol based coolant. However, you should check the dilution ratio for antifreeze for your climate to make sure you get protection over the right temperature range.

hi and welcome to the forum

:Photos_3NT5BI: we want piccies

I would just take a wee quick run around the cooling system to make sure theres not a loose clip or anuthing as these engines dont normally use any coolant (had an R for 4 years and near 40k miles never used a bit part from when i bust the water pump!!!)

its not safe to mix blue etholyne glycol antifreeze with the pink/orange long life types as they can turn into a gel. best to flush the sustem completely then you will know 100% whats in there, any good brand of anti freeze is OK mixed suitably for an all aluminium engine

you need to host your pics using an online pic hosting site I use photobucket, then when you post click the insert image icon (yellow square with mountains) then copy & paste your pics url (from the hosting site) into the window that will open up, job jobbed as they say :eusa_dance:
