Hi Guys- Can someone recommend a good coolant for my GG 280? I have searched a bit and can't find it.

I think I need the pink stuff because thats what was in there previously and I've read that I should stick with that..?

Thanks all.

Any coolant will work fine, just do not mix them. Flush well with water, run it, drain it and use what you like, green pink orange blue purple are all out there somewhere.

The key is not to mix them as they do not all play well together.

The newer long life coolants designed for 100K mile application are good in a sense, but in a trials bike, I still use standard green ethylene glycol and change it annually, or so, as it is designated 3 year lifespan for corrosion inhibitors.

Pick your own poison here, just do not mix!

AND this is a good example why one cannot go exclusively by color if one does not know what is in it!

I've been using Engine Ice in my Betas. It's propylene glycol so non-toxic and it's premixed to reduce the ionic contaminants that cause corrosion. NEVER use tap water. It's usually loaded with things that are bad for the metal in your cases. If you must mix water look for DI (deionized) water at the local drugstore.
