I just bought a new 2011 GSXR 600 and have done my first tune up and oil change and everything. Only thing I have not done and I can not find any info on is ANTIFREEZE. I need to know is it better to just purchase 50/50 freeze or mix myself with distiller water? Also what brands are good to purchase ?

Any run of the mill automotive anti-freeze that is fine. most of them come premixed these days.

I would just take a couple of capfuls of Water Wetter and pour it in with the mix.

I'd suggest a phosphate-free anti-freeze that is safe for aluminum.

Not all anti-freeze is the same.

with modern cars, most of the antifreeze u buy now is safe for aluminum.

Check with the dealership, see what they say.

They will obviously sell you the most expensive stuff they have :biggrin


As long as it's suitable for aluminum (READ THE LABEL!), you'll be just fine.
