Engine coolant
Engine coolant performs as a rust
inhibitor and water pump lubricant as
well as an anti-freeze solution. There-
fore engine coolant should be used at
all times even though the atmospheric
temperature in your area does not go
down to the freezing point.

the cooling system from freezing at
temperatures above –31°C (–24°F). If
the motorcycle is to be exposed to tem-
perature below –31°C (–24°F), this mix-
ing ratio should be increased up to 55%
