Hi,

how much Anti freeze water do i need in my TRX ?

I have drained the readiator, and wanted to know the quantity required to fill back up...

Al...

Having recently done mine, what I did was fill the rad through the cap until it was full (bike on side stand) then filled the overflow bottle (under the seat) to just under max level mark. The chacked after the first ride and found it was at the min mark so topped uo a bit. IIRC it used just over a litre in total?

thass nice thanx.... i did recover about 1 litre out of the rad, when i drained it , so prob will have enough in it.... it is a yellow colour like urine... does it matter if i put blue in it..?

You must use a 50 / 50 mix of ethylene glycol and deionised water Al, the coulour of the antifreeze is not important as long as it`s the `alloy` safe type which most types you`ll find are these days.
You`re right about the quantity, it`s around 1.2 litres.
Supermarket or poundstretchers, 99p antifreeze and steam iron water is all you need.

Mince,

thanks for that will sort today...
