The total radiator and engine capacity is 2.7 litres and the reservoir is 0.31 litres. You have to mix the coolant with 50% water and 50% antifreeze or Honda coolant as you intend to use. Hope this of help to you?

It may well be and should tell you on the container, but ask when you buy it. I re-used my coolant after draining it down as it was very clean and I sieved it through some nylon stocking just in case! I had 2 litres of pre-mixed antifreeze I'd bought from Tescos, but it didn't say what the percentage of mix it had in it, so I decided to re-use the coolant I'd drained out of the radiator, so I could fit a new set of stainless steel exhaust pipes.

If it's in the blue bottle yes it's pre-mixed.

That seems excessive. I just did my F2 and it took 2 bottles.

Highway above said it takes about 3 liters, which is roughly 3 32oz bottles at $6-$9/each.

Can anyone clarify if this is accurate?

i drained the coolant from 3 cbr6 track bikes this spring. although they hold 3 liters , i drained the rad block, and coolant reservoir, and only 2 liters came out, on all 3. so u will likely only need 2 liters.i will be drianing the water wetter and water soon, to refill them with anti freeze.
