using mostly distilled water as coolant (with just a little antifreeze)
I have let my coolant level run down and want to refill it with pure distilled water. The end result will be a 50/50 coolant mix mixed with an equal amount of pure distilled water. So I guess this is 75% distilled water with 25% coolant (?)
Is that enough corrosion inhibitors, etc. in the coolant/antifreeze to protect my engine? Should I run a 50/50 mix always? I read that water is a better coolant and I use my bike in the desert. As long as I put in more antifreeze before winter, isn't it a good idea to run mostly water with just a little coolant for its anti-corrosion ingredients?
