Coolant Top Up - Ninja 250

[Slawek]

I need to top of the coolant in my 09' 250 Ninja, and I'm wondering if this product is safe to use:

It states it's safe on aluminum engines, it's Ethylene glycol, but the colour is Yellow. In the manual it states that the coolant is shipped with green coloured anti freeze.

yes

So mixing green fluid with yellow fluid is safe? I am getting mixed info from different sources unfortunately

Might not be a bad idea to just bleed the whole system with new fluid. Fairly easy to do on any bike... especially a ninja 250.

I don't know for sure if it's not a good idea to mix colours of coolant, but I wouldn't. draining and refilling the whole coolant system shouldn't take too long.

I've got a ninja 650 but its very similar. I stayed with same colour coolant (green). Used "Motul Motocool expert" 10 bucks
