I use any type of antifreeze I don't really think it matter the brand so much just the mixture I get the straight antifreeze and mix water with it. But I guess it depends on where you ride and climate wise.

We use Engine Ice. I will give you an example why we spend the money for it. When My husband first got his bike the fan didn't work well it blew the radiator hose more than once and it sucked. Well we switched to Engine Ice before we got a new fan and it never blew the hose again and he ran it for about a year with out a fan. Needless to say it cools down the engine quite a bit. It also is good for cool temps also. We go from top to bottom here. As high as 105 and as low as -20 or more and never have a problem with starting or anything. Just my 2cents. I hope it helps.

Should be able to get it in just about any bike shop. Totally safe to run. It will lower temps as much as 20%. Price I think is around 20 bucks. No mixing, but you do have to flush your cooling system first before putting it in. (pretty easy really). Ive been running it all season and it makes a big difference temp wise. Fan hardly ever comes on.

Just to add to that it is also biodegradable and non-toxic so it is safer if you leak it out or have to replace it. And you can get it for 15.49 for 64oz. from Rocky Mountain. O and it says it can reduce your engine heat by up to 50degrees.
