I"m pretty sure the only bikes that ever got damage water pumps from antifreeze was Goldwings. I read this somewhere. Apparently you had to buy special antifreeze from Honda for the Goldwings.

I have never heard of it hurting any other bike using plain green antifreeze with distilled water...
 
ok ok, this is worse than the oil debate...

Anyone knoe the facts, I just changed my coolant and used the green stuff that was safe for aluminum engines, but it does have silicants in it...Should I flush and use the ornage stuff?

Anyone have issues with their bike and using the green stuff? It came with the green stuff from the factory...
 
just incase anyone doubts Rob's info...

Here is a short and sweet email from Kawasaki

Andy,

Silicate type coolant is OK. The original coolant in your motorcycle
contains silicates.
