Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Service Manual: Engine coolant recommendation
Engine coolant
Use an anti-freeze/engine coolant compatible with an aluminum radiator, mixed with distilled water only.
Water for mixing
Use distilled water only. Water other than distilled water can corrode and clog the aluminum radiator.
Anti-freeze / engine coolant
The engine coolant perform as a corrosion and rust inhibitor as well as anti-freeze. Therefore, the engine coolant should be used at all times even though the atmospheric temperature in your area does not go down to freezing point.
Suzuki recommends the use of suzuki coolant antifreeze/ engine coolant. If this is not available, use an equivalent which is compatible with an aluminum radiator.
Liquid amount of water / engine coolant
Solution capacity (total) 2 750 ml (2.9/2.4 Us/imp qt)
For engine coolant mixture information, refer to “engine coolant description” in section 1f .
 Caution
Be sure to mix it above 50% even though the atmospheric temperature does not go down to the freezing point. |

Show data when trouble (displaying data at
the time of DTC)
Use of sds
Ecm stores the engine and driving conditions (in the form of data as shown in
the figure) at the moment of the
detection of a malfunction in its memory. This data is called “show data when
trouble”.
Therefore, it is possible to know engine and driving conditions (e.G., Whether
