Antifreeze use

[sleepy2]

was wondering if this would be usable in my 2012RSV or do I have to go to dealer?

i have always heard you should NOT put the same antifreeze you put in your car in your bike.

That is true, car anti-freeze has silicates in it that can wreck the seals in the bike's systems, use an anti-freeze that is designed for bikes.

Silicates not good for bikes. I don't remember what the specs are, but there is some antifreeze out there for cars that is usable. You have to read ingredients and become initial friendly.

FWIW, I've used Prestone coolant on my RSV and had done it twice already.  So far so good.

I was just wondering, as it does say it's usable in aluminum and cast iron! I have been  using Honda antifreeze the last few times with no problems then I saw the Prestone fluid while grocery shopping in Walmart.  I know about what shouldn't  e in it, like silica and additives!
