Remember to flush your coolant system first with distilled water first. Then flush out and top up with new coolant. Maxima coolant will do at @ $20 a bottle.

I just flush and change coolant 2 weeks ago, the brownish is at the top, I will just suck out the top part and top up with maxima coolaide. Btw Maxima coolaide only $18.90 from Mustaffa, my bike needs 2 bottles.

Cool aide is cheaper at planet hahahaha.

Anyway, i reccomend you water wetter from redline. Solid stuff $16 for the concentrate then mix with distilled water. Probabbly last you for many many years

My mechanic told me a piece of advice not to use waterwetter . He came across a bike which use it and the whole coolant system become rusty . So now trying Engine Ice but like no differences from Coolaide and more ex so more .

I already bought redline waterwetter from MXtradings for my next coolant change, have used it before but I feel is not as good as maxima, but since its cheap I can flush and change my coolant every 6 months, by spliting it half and its approx $10 per coolant change with 4 bottles of distilled water.

 

I am also using the redline S1 fuel injector cleaner as my bike is FI.

I don't recommend the ratio mixture as per recommneded as its too diluted, tried use half bottle of redline water to treat the amount of distilled water fo your bikes or pour the whole bottle since its only $16 per bot.

I using redline as well.ratio is 50ml:1L of distilled water.

i find it perform better than engine ice,cool aide.

i use distilled water to flush the system and did not see any rust.

Just use first since u bought waterwetter already . Most important is to flush and regularly change your coolant to keep it in good nick . Maybe once a year for my bike .
