hi all, im in need of the type of coolant i should get for my zxr250 1989 anybody know what brand and type and exact place where i can get it from?

standard coolant from absolutely anywhere should work... no reason for it not to, frankly if you wanted you can even use water, it'll just boil and evaporate much quicker...

Any quality auto coolant from one of the auto shops should be ok, I used Wynns concentrate in my old GPX250

Any quality coolant will do the job...........
I wouldn't use just water (race bikes excepted) Quality coolants assist in protecting the inside of your engine and cooling system from corrosion.

I noticed there is type A coolant and type B coolant on the green selection and theres the red. I wasnt sure which one i should get. And theres also the ones that u dilute with water. So many choices and i cant find the right specs on the net.

any works, just once you get a certain type, stick with that type until it's empty. e.g. if you get red coolant, only top up with red coolant until you get to the point where you need to drain the coolant, or somehow your cooling system is empty, then you can start again with a different colour, just try not to mix colours I guess

guy from supercheap auto told me the difference between type a and b is type a is for the newer vehicles with higher tolerance of antifreeze and antiboil and type b coolant is for older vehicles that would be for rust inhibitor. The guy could be right and made some sense... so i went for the type a choice since my bike heats up like hell during hot days..... and since u guys told me that i can use any. thanks for all of the advice.

You'll probably find the difference is the corrosion inhibitor. Difference is between alloy & steel components, as the zzr has an alloy block you made the right choice
