My coolant is low. Can you use standard automotive coolant and do you mix it in some ratio with water? My bike is 2005 Honda CBR 600 F4i. It's 40-50 degrees outside and the tempature went up to 180-190 and when waiting in the traffic (rush hour) it went up to 220. I am asking this since I don't have the manual to my bike. I bought it second hand and they didn't include the manual. Thanks in advance.

 

that temp should actually be fine....

 

Can I use standard coolant or do I need some special mix?

 

check you're manual.

i use Honda HP.....something or other, but its a blue bottle of coolant found at the dealer.

 

Thanx for the advice, but as I mentioned before I would check it if I had it.

So can I use normal coolant?

 

There is no such thing a normal coolant anymore. But from the back of the Honda HP coolant bottle it says something to effect of.

Water, Ethylene Glycol, Diethylene Glycol. No Silicates (non abrasive). Meets Astm D-3306. Maximum corrosion protection for all Honda cooling systems.

If you do use something else, let us know what it was and how it worked.
