Should a Water-Cooled Motorcycle Be Filled with Water or Antifreeze?
1 Answers
Water-cooled motorcycles must be filled with qualified coolant. Here is the relevant information: 1. If water (tap water, well water, spring water, or river water, etc.) is added, over time, scale will gradually form inside the cooling system. The scale will become thicker and thicker, reducing the volume of the water passages and slowing down the flow of the coolant. This will affect the dissipation of engine heat, leading to increased engine temperature, reduced power, and a shortened engine lifespan. 2. Therefore, a water-cooled motorcycle's radiator should be filled with qualified antifreeze or a coolant made by mixing soft water (purified water or distilled water) and antifreeze in a certain proportion.
