I have a 02 volusia. Coolant is low. What type of coolant is recommended by manufacturer?

You really need to get an owner's manual. It is full of vital information regarding the care and operation of your motorcycle.

I have an '02 Volusia. While installing new parts noticed coolant levels low. Don't have user manual. What type of coolant is recommended?

On most bikes, it is also recomended to change the coolant every 2 years. You may want to check if it was done.

I'm working on purchasing manual. But any ideas on type, any 50/50 coolant will do?

I like the premixed type of coolant. Be sure it says that it is compatible with aluminum radiators and you'll be good.

Thank you for your help. I'll go and purchase some Prestone pre-mix today.
