Just picked up a 2010 se. It is low miles and when I checked the coolant it was blue. Owner never looked so it was from original setup. What coolant is it? Dealer was in Michigan, and I heard Honda uses blue. Just dealer choice? Local yamaha dealer doesn't know and I don't think it is blue ice.
Where can I get more to top off? Thinking about having dealer flush it when I have warranty transfer inspection.

Its called Engine ice. Its a good coolant. Very good but I believe the bottle only says it protects to -20 degrees

I doubt it would be a specialized coolant like Engine Ice. More than likely, it's the same stuff as Honda since they are both from Japan. Probably ran out of the green stuff or just switched suppliers.

I guess where I live it gets colder than -26 at times

That's what I thought. I can't see dealer putting in something special, and I ride in colder than that anyway. I am going to flush it. Thanks guys

Doing searches you find out a lot of oems are using different colored coolants, and they are not all compatible. I have dexcool for gm and Green. Now it's all more complicated.

Some Yamaha Shops use Honda coolant that is BLUE. It is real good stuff!

Not knowing what it was and what to add to top it off, I drained it and refilled it. No problems so far.
