Service Question

[Guest Lenp]

My reserve tank,needs a top up,it's just on the lower level,so I popped around to my local Honda dealer ,to buy some,yes hear it is,I said that's not the right stuff,it's Blue, mine is green, that's ok to use,no I need green the bike came with green,I pointed over to a new one in the showroom, that had green coolant,so he rang Honda, yes that's right it's green coolant,no problem i will order it, two days I went to pick it up,this time it was Red, has any body out there had the same problem, ,still on going...Ride Safe..

is being colour co-ordinated that important?

Len this very same issue came up a few weeks ago--and the very same was said--and the very same response from the dealer--There was no definite conclusion--I don't think--But if it's green--put in green--then if a warranty claim ever comes up--it not the wrong colour --you have put in.

I've still not topped up because I'm still no wiser.

if you put in a drop or 2 of water i am sure you won't dilute it too much!

I'm told that the modern coolant has zero water in it, the point being no water no rust.

I may be wrong.

Off-topic.
