It's called "Super Cool" and is an aftermarket being sold at our local Kawa shop.

The 'PINK' stuff? Oh sure it is.....

back in the day I knew what was and what wasn't supposed to be 'PINK', and coolant was never one of what was..

What exactly did you expect of a long hair country boy?

Ifn' I didn't have all this hair (on the conservation plan by the way) I would just be another ol' redneck. Yeah a knuckel dragger, but my wife likes knuckel draggers. Seems to me real women do..

It smells like dandilions.

stock coolant is dark green. PINK???

macmac · 07-18-2009, 03:48 PM

Doc, maybe it ain't coolant after all, but I won't drink the stuff either!

My dealer sells, Kawasaki, Honda and Yamaha bikes but only one coolant and that is the Honda coolant. I don't remember what color it is.

Make sure to check the Radiator cap. It may not leak coolant to the floor but the internal spring- loaded seal may be bad. The spring loaded seal keeps the system under pressure thus raising coolant boiling point to above engine's operating temperature. Normally they are preset to around 15 PSI. Unpressurized cooling system will cause coolant to boil and will result in overheating and coolant loss.
Water pump seal may be leaking too.
Reservoir on my bike was almost empty at 2000 miles. I refilled it once and it is still holding the level after 2 years. I'll replace it soon. It looks darkkish and durty.
