Let’s see what coolant can help your radiator here: Water freezes at 32° Fahrenheit (0° Celsius). The antifreeze will help lower the water’s freezing point to a negative 35° Fahrenheit (negative 37° Celsius). With an antifreeze, your engine’s cooling system isn’t at risk of being cracked by frozen water anymore.
Coolant keeps your motorcycle engine temperature within a safe range. This is a critical role that keeps your bike performance top-notch at all times. That said, the coolant requires a regular change to continue working correctly. As a new motorcycle owner, you might have heard folks saying that coolant is just coolant, and you can use carIn most cars and trucks, the cooling system works by circulating radiator fluid (a 50/50 mixture of coolant and water) through the engine, which will absorb the heat and cool the engine. Coolant also contains antifreeze. By having a coolant that runs through the engine block’s channels, the system stays regulated in both warmer and colder months. I’ve also read claims of racers using 100 percent anti-freeze because of its 387 degree F. boiling point. The problem with this approach is that the specific heat of straight anti-freeze is 0.66 as shown in the accompanying chart. According to the above referenced site, the cooling system has lost 20 percent of its capacity.
