Default Coolant is low

My coolant is at the low line on the reserve tank with the bike level; can I just add pure coolant without mixing distilled water?

Suggestions/experiences?

Thanks

You could, but i don't recomend it. Water is actually a better coolant than anti-freeze. That is why there are different water/anti-freeze ratios depending on your local climate. The anti-freeze also helps to raise the boiling point of the water so that it doesn't steam out when it gets to 211F. Of course I am a little rententative about my bike, so it's up to you.

Thanks Sparky. I went with a 50/50 premix.
