Garz747 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I just changed my oil and filter and noticed ( while lying on the garage floor) that the coolant bottle is at the low line. What did the dealer really check at the PDI??? Ive come home from where the bike is kept and didnt notice if the coolant is blue or green? Id like to top it up when I go back this weekend. Anyone?

kilo3 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Depends on the country. USA is blue, or maybe that's all of NA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member dazzler24 Posted June 28, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted June 28, 2021 Here's a thread from this very forum on the subject. FWIW my Yamalube coolant was green and so was the replacement premix. I'm in Australia - if that makes any difference at all?? This from the 2015 manual: - "Antifreeze/water mixture ratio: 1:1 Recommended antifreeze: High-quality ethylene glycol antifreeze containing corrosion inhibitors for aluminum engines" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garz747 Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 I ended up using a BMW propietary antifreeze that I had in the garage. Also blue and phosphate free, safe for aluminum... Should be fine, used for top up- of course dealer couldnt have at proper mark for PDI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
