Coolant
I lost some coolant when I changed the water pump so I decided I may aswell change the lot considering it's life prior to my ownership...
I went to Halfords as it was open( ) and I found that now coolant is for specific engines,they do 2,the silicate and the OAT..which should I opt for or neither and go to a bike shop...thanks.

Re: Coolant
Bike shop if you can find any open tomorrow and it should be cheaper. I have used silkolene in the past with no ill effects.

Re: Coolant
Could always try the honda coolant from ds spares, if it's what honda do really use then they must think it's good enough for all their bikes

Re: Coolant
I would have researched this before use so i guess its the right coolant. Sorry for being late I forgot to answer back.
