Default coolant? fast

hi,


i need to know how much coolant do i need to put in my bike? do i have to full the radiator and the little tank or is there is a specific measurement for it? notice that the motor was completely dried of any liquids that was in there.

and what is about the 50/50 mix and everything? can i put straight coolant or it wont work?

thanks!

Most Atv coolants are premixed so you just pour them in. I use Engine Ice and sometime Pro Cool. There are alot of them out there but I would get one designed for ATVs. Fill the radiator to the top and then fill the resovior to minimun line on the side. Crank her up and let her warm up. It will pull a little out of the resovior. Fill the res about half way between max and min and your done. Dont open the radiator while the quad is hot or bad things can happen to your face. Just look at the res ever so often and make sure she is above min. Good luck

If you do use regular coolant always mix it 50/50 unless it's a premixed jug. Coolant needs the water to work. Also use demineralized water if you can, less chance of deposites being left.
