Hi all,

What coolant do u guys recommend for my Stuart Taylor ZX9R Locosaki?

Thanks in advance

Daz.

Decent OAT antifreeze

Linky

Sale on here, I got 10 litres

Cool, looks good stuff
Do u know how much the system should take roughly?

You don't need anything other than a standard OAT longlife coolant.

Also check carefully what you buy as 50% pre-mix is sold at nearly the same price as full concentrate --- major con.
You might want to use pre-mix if you live in a hard water area.

Thanks for that Rusty Nuts
How do i flush it? Do i just fill it with water to flush it out or do i need to buy a product to use?

Daz.

Take out the thermostat and run a hose pipe the opposite way the water flows, so push water into the head and let it gush out the radiator until it runs clean.

You can get proprietary radiator cleaning products from halfords etc, they attack the built up scale so you drop in, run the engine for 20 minutes then when cooled down empty and flush as above.

Regards Mark

How do i fill it back up being as theres no cap on the rad? Straight in the header tank? and if so will it fill it enough to start the engine and keep topping it up?? Wot about air locks? :-/

If has been running pink/orange coolant no need to flush as there should be no corrosion sediment but if it has blue/green coolant or dark red Japanese coolant then flush out.

I don't think it's had any in at all by the looks of things but if it HAS then it's a VERY light blue as it looks pretty much like water :-/

All done, thanks for the info guys
Next is the oil/filter change
