My bike is low on coolant I'm wondering what you guys use for the coolant and can it be like regular car coolant my friend says it has to take special coolant? but idk he thinks he knows everything so idk if I believe him or not, you guys know a lot about this so I'm coming to you.

 

Honda HP coolant, first check the color(either red or green) and get the color matching the one you have now, never mix colors, that will eventually destroy your engine. its pretty cheap at any dealership, just ask but use the Honda specific stuff just to be careful

 

Alright thanks man now I have to figure out how to check the color because i can't see any of the coolant it might be completely out my bike keeps getting hot

 

most new honda bikes have green but if you lean the bike over or look down the coolant reservoir

 

Make sure the coolant you use is prediluted 50/50 and it's green. I use the peak coolant. I've heard some good things about the Engine Ice coolant. Look it up.

 

Thanks for the replies everybody and yes, the coolant is green I looked now I just need to buy some.. and on the plus side I got my bike up to 145 today wasn't expecting it to get close to that

 

Engine Ice is good stuff. Pricey, but good.

 

You can use any green coolant that is safe for use in aluminum engines. It doesn't have to be honda brand or anything specifically made for bikes. Peak is what I use also because it's available and cheap. You can get it at advance auto, etc. You can either buy the 100% and mix it 50/50 with distilled water or just buy the premixed 50/50.

As far as engine ice.... it can not be mixed with traditional coolants. If you want to try it, you need to drain out all remaining coolant, flush the system, and refill with just engine ice.
For this reason, I'll probably never use it. Regular inexpensive green antifreeze has been fine in bikes for a long long time, and I don't feel like worrying about mixing stuff when I'm alongside the road. It's green peak for me.

 

I prefer Honda HP coolant. Its "ready to use" 50/50 blend. However, I have run Water-Wetter year-round in the past as well.

 

Where can I get the Honda HP Coolant? my town is small I might have to go out of town I checked O'Rileys and walmart just to try and they didn't have any, where could I get some?
