Hello guys, I’m going to be doing a coolant change on my sv650s just wondered what coolant anyone recommends?

Thanks!

Whatever it says in the handbook is best.

Use any known brand of pre-mix then you don't have to buy de- ionised water as well . Halfords etc.

I always find it false economy to buy premixed!

With concentrate the mix ratio is probably best at 33% so you could go 10 litres of water to 5 litres of coolant which gives you 15 litres of coolant for a little more than what 5 litres of premixed would cost you.

5 litres of premixed is £20 = £4 a litre

5 litres of concentrate is £26 plus 10 litres of water £7 so £33 for 15 litres = £2.20 a litre

even a 50/50 mix is £2.95 a litre

Maybe its the Yorkshireman in me

That link shows pictures of dogs. Do you use dogs as coolant? If so what breed?

I never considered it from an economic point of view . I meant that you don't have to buy it rather than you don't have to pay for it . Good point though.

Will this be ok, flushed system current coolant was green

Used deionised water to flush all of the old coolant out so I’m assuming I’m good to go with the pink stuff?
