hello,
ive been told by a few friends which coolants to use, but there saying different ones,
does it matter which i use, and what is best to put in my radiators, water or water mixed with anti freeze?

at this time of year you need a bit more antifreeze but you can buy coolant and anti freeze mix from halfords they have a section specifically for bikes mate

You can buy readymixed coolant.

2 things to be aware of -

Needs to be suited to aluminium engines.

DO NOT use water without antifreeze - BIG corosion problems.

and to add to what knackered has said, if you use water without antifreeze especially this time of year it can cause pipes or even rads to burst due to the water freezing and expanding, get a nice electric blanket and tuck your 2 wheel baby in at night ha ha god i need to get out more
