Default Newbie coolant question

Is there a specific type of coolant to run in atvs? Just got my yfz450 and didn't get a manuel yet.

thank you

Welcome to the forum. I run engine ice in my bikes, helps with the heat and it won't corrode the aluminum, and it has oring conditioners . Pretty much anything that won't corrode aluminum will be o.k.

+1 for Engine Ice

I also run Engine Ice in my z400, its been good to me......I also know many people who run it and I don't know anyone who has had a problem.
