I use Castrol GTX/GTX2 in my bike. Bike runs really nicely on it too. The coolant part also interests me as I think mine is running uite low and I don't know what to use?? <!-- s:-? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_Eyecrazy.gif" alt=":-?" title="Eye Crazy" /><!-- s:-? -->
do you use a combination of water and antifreeze ??? or is there a special type ??? <!-- s:???: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":???:" title="Confused" /><!-- s:???: -->
Avoid using just water, as this causes premature corrosion within the water jacket. Use a coolant which you mix with distilled water according to the temperatures in which you are operating. You shouldn't have to use anti-freeze unless your bike is exposed to temperatures below 0 centigrade. Shell makes good motorcycle coolant. Oil wise, you should be running at around 10W-40, semi-synthetic or preferably fully synthetic, as the FZR has a very high rev band.
i use castrol activ4t in my fizzer its designed for high reving four stroke bikes like the fzr... or so the contianer tells me lol
I run distilled water as coolant is not allowed on the track. Silcoline (sp?) full synthetic, as mine is never under 10krpm cept when it's switched off. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="" title="Cool" /><!-- s -->
