An average engine runs at 90oC. Usually a 50/50 mix or sometimes a 100% mix would be used. This link should give you all the details you need or the phone number which will help. http://www.maxmoto.co.uk/gilera_dna_50_125_180.shtml Another option is to read the user manual. -- If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs, you probably haven't grasped the seriousness of the situation!

It is for corrosion protection and more efficient thermal protection in smaller cooling systems or racing applications. So in most likleyhood yours would be concentrate of Antifreeze/coolant. Thanks for the heads up there Vfor. -- If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs, you probably haven't grasped the seriousness of the situation!
