This may be a repeat, just lost what I wrote, so here I go for #2
My 1 week old 1980 GL1100 was just certified for safety. The unit had all fluids changed out including the coolant, but I have discovered that I installed the wrong anti freeze since it is not silicate free. I will dump the charge of wrong coolant , rince the chambers with RO water and then run to temp, dump and re-rinse then install the proper coolant at a 50% mix with RO water. Would this suffice? Has this wrong mix caused a future problem as noted on this site?
Thanks for all your help, I look forward to getting this bike out of second gear, any comments or concerns that I shoulod be aware of? I am unaware of what the previous owners ran in the coolant or in any of the fluids.
FYI-RO water is reverse osmosis filtered water at about 98% pure water.
