Normally it should be green, but ya need to see what color it is for sure. Most coolants dont mix and will turn almost to a pudding like consistancy if mixed.

You can add more WATER. You can not mix anti-freeze brands. And I say you can not mix anti-freeze of the same brand but in different condition. Well you could but thats like putting a new chain on old sprockets or an old chain on new sprockets.

So you're saying the waterwetter is better than the Honda coolant? Also if the coolant still looks alright isn't it still ok to just add more or add a little water if it's only a little low??

You can't run 100% water wetter.

What i run in both my bikes, and recommend is 100% distilled water and a bottle of water wetter.

Just be careful during the winter.

Who said you cant run 100% water wetter? I've been doing that since last year.

Ya, you can run 100% water wetter, it might be a little more expensive, but it cools extremely well. I run 100% Purple Ice by Royal Purple. It cools colder than standard ethylene glycol.
