Coolant Type

[sonny]

The Honda coolant in the blue bottle is what I use. I buy the 50/50. Very good stuff.

Same here. Never had a problem with the bike freezing or overheating. From a 17 degree morning ride to work to a 113 degree afternoon ride home from work no issues.

So many of you guys are so smart. Really makes me feel like I'm just a dumb old truck driver. What a minute ... I am an old truck driver ... not sure about the dumb part though.

But you guys are really smart. I am glad you share with the forum.

I use a good 50/50 mix..There is nothing wrong with water.

Heard some bad things about Evans waterless.

It’s not for everybody, it must be used correctly and it’s expensive which causes a lot to dismiss quickly, well Walmart has good coolant, they do, and some use it and have for many years. 50/50, water with wetter, it all works it’s an oil thread or polish thread or battery thread. It’s just info that’s all. https://motocrossactionmag.com/ten-things-you-need-to-know-about-waterless-coolant/

Back when we all had the sage words of Wayne Tripp to rely on - I asked him about Evans.
He suggested I did not bother.

Good water/antifreeze mix and DEI Radiator Relief.
It works well.

The weak point in the R3's coolant system is the pump. It causes fluid cavitation above 4000rpms. It's a common issue in many water pumps - iirc @Claviger was looking for a way to upgrade the design.

If it says HOAT on the bottle somewhere then it is compatible and recommended by Triumph.

I would just top up and wait until next year to replace.

Is hybrid OAT a mixture between OAT and silicate?
