car antifreeze yes ok or not?

hi guys need to change my antifreeze on my x9 125 evo. can someone please tell me if car antifreeze is fine to use in our x9s,i know i would need to mix it first what is the mixture 50/50 i think it is can someone confirm this please also how much do i need to buy. cheers guy for your replies in advance

Yes it's fine. The blue stuff is good for 2 years or the slightly dearer red is good for 5 years. 50:50 is perfect for any eventuality.
Capacity is only 1.5 litres so a 1 litre bottle is more than enough although I think a 2.5 litre is the smallest you can get. A strong solution is better than a weak one and allows for topping up with just water if required later on.

It's the same for 125's and 250's - not for 500's.
