It is my personal opinion that you should never run automotive anti-freeze in
the KLR's coolant system. Exactly why that is, I can't say. I believe that I
read somewhere that there is a dangerous component in the automotive
anti-freeze mixtures. I have also heard that the Honda anti-freeze is perhaps
the best coolant for motorcycles there is. For myself, when I replaced the
last batch, I used Kawasaki's anit-freeze. It might be superstition, but I
could swear that both Kawasaki and Honda water pump failures were attributed
to automotive anti-freeze usage. I figure its safer to stick with motorcycle
specific anti-freeze than be sorry.
