2007 R1 Coolantlexuspartsdude 04-09-2007, 06:47 AM Breaking in to do the smog plates this weekend, and in the case that i get frustrated enough to just go at it from the front i was planning on picking up some coolant IN CASE i just remove the radiator. What brand/type would you guys throw in there, cause i have never replaced coolant myself on any of my bikes. :confused: Thanks guys! 7777r1 04-09-2007, 11:33 AM This is my first R1, but I've changed the coolant on my honda's a bunch of times. I would either use Honda's Hp Coolant (the green stuff that's already mixed) or engine ice. It looks like the R1's coolant is the same as my 1krr's. I haven't checked in the manual yet though. If it needs a 50/50 mix than the Hp Coolant or engine ice would be fine. It comes pre-mixed at 50/50. 7777r1 04-09-2007, 11:35 AM forgot to add to my last post...If you are going to use engine ice, you have to completely flush out the current fluid first. If you just want to add some coolant, I would just get the Hp Coolant, or yamaha's equivalent. hand07 05-19-2007, 05:45 PM how much coolant do i use? if i refilled mine with liquid performance quark 05-24-2007, 08:26 PM For my bike i think i use 1 and half bottle of engine ice.Is around 2.8Litre or 3 Litre. Not sure i remember anot.
Any comments on it ? JRD347 05-25-2007, 08:28 PM 00272-sllc2 hand07 05-25-2007, 09:13 PM see i put lp in mine and it filled up with only one bottle. which is maybe 2 l and it should be closer to 3l.. i even drained and refilled and it did the same.. so i don't know what to do | |
