Title: Hondaline HP Coolant for C14?
Post by: CrashKLRtoConnie on July 02, 2011, 06:27:07 PM

I my local Dealer suggested using Hondaline HP Coolant (pre mix so no need to add distilled water) for the 2008 Connie.

Any comments or suggestions?

That's what I have always used on all my bikes.

That is great coolant, what I always use in liquid cooled bikes.

Anyone have a good place to buy this stuff from? $4.49 for a quart is a little steep.

You can go to a Honda car dealer and buy it by the gallon and mix it 50/50 with distilled water. And you have a gallon for next time. But you have to store it until then.  I just buy the stuff premixed from the bike shop, $20.00 isn't that much and you only do it every 2 years anyway.

That's true, 20 bucks every two years isn't that much.

If you would just start using car tires and recycled motor oil, the money for anti- freeze would pile up faster than you could imagine Conrad.

That's true Brian, I guess I could start collecting cans from the sides of the roads and turning them in for cash eh? I wonder how many cans I could get into my side bags on the bike?

Why bother with the saddlebags? Just tie a string through all the cans you find and drag them to the recycling center. By the way, ignore anyone who 'congratulates' you on the way.
