If the motorcycle is to be exposed to temperatures below -31°C (-24°F), this mixing ratio should be increased up to 55% or 60% according to the figure.
Anti-freeze density | Freezing point |
50% | -31°C (-24°F) |
55% | -40°C (-40°F) |
60% | -55°C (-67°F) |
Caution!
- Use a high quality ethylene glycol base anti-freeze, mixed with distilled water. Do not mix an alcohol base anti-freeze and different brands of anti-freeze.
- Do not rut in 60% and more anti-freeze or 50% and less. (Refer to below figure.)
- Do not use a radiator anti-leak additive.
50% Engine coolant including reserve tank capacity.
Anti-freeze | 950 ml (2.01/1.67 US/Imp.pt) |
Water | 950 ml (2.01/1.67 US/Imp.pt) |

Warning!
- You can be injured by scalding fluid or steam if you open the radiator cap when the engine is hot. After the engine cools, wrap a thick cloth around cap and carefully remove the cap by turning it a quarter turn to allow pressure to escape and then turn the cap all the way off.
- The engine must be cool before servicing the cooling system.
- Coolant is harmful:
- If it comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with water.
- If swallowed accidentally, induce vomiting and call physician immediately.
- Keep it away from children.
