Be careful about anti-freeze for motorcycle engines. Some anti-freeze products used in car engine with cast iron blocks, heads, water pumps, etc are not good for motorcycle coolant systems. Honda anti-freeze used in the Gold Wing engines is a good choice for a motorcycle cooling system.

Use the wrong anti-freeze and it can cause seal failures and coolant leaks.
