What the fuck?!!! Do not use water in your coolant system! Distilled, De-ionised or your own piss!

Use proper ENGINE COOLANT (also known as ANTI-FREEZE). Its dirt cheap!

Remember its not just to cool your engine in summer, its also to stop it freezing in winter!
Does water freeze? YES IT DOES. Big time. Then its bye bye bike engine.

I personally have Tesco's Coolant in mine, but its all the same stuff.

Here are some other brands...

Or my personal favourite for £3?...

...Tesco's!

Diesel will cool your bike and stop it from freezing better than water would!

As Diesel doesn't freeze for a start and its lubricated.

The majority of engine coolants now are just made to use directly.

Should say pre-mixed, ready-mixed, ready made or pre-diluted etc.

Its pretty old fashioned now to have to dilute your own coolant.
Its better to have it already done so you know its right and safe to use.

Also, sorry for the panic, but so many people on forums use water and it blows my mind!
And I really don't wanna see my members with a frozen or burnt out engine.

You would be amazed how many people just fill up with tap water dude seriously.

See, this is why you need to be careful.

Here are two Q8 Long-Life Antifreeze Coolants...

Now what's the difference?

(And no there isn't a prize).

How the heck can I help you dude?

I don't know what bloody coolant you have. Haha!
It will either tell you its pre-mixed on the bottle or not.

I have plastered this topic with helpful advice, photos of products and even a nice spot the difference game.

And still you are not satisfied.

You broke my heart.
