    I was about to drain my coolant on my R6 that I recently bought (used), and when I started to drain it I found it was red.

    Anybody have any idea what type of coolant comes in red?

    Im hoping it's already track legal, so I wont have to change it.

    I have engine Ice I can give (sell) you at the track. Coolant comes in VARIOUS colors including the ones that are NOT permitted. If you are not certain then it's not safe. You'll need to change it. If you can't get it done before you come you can change it at the track. Just bring an empty detergent bottle to remove the old.

    I have some water wetter in the garage. I'll change it.

    I was just hoping I could save some time (still have to finish bondoing my tank & bodywork, paint it and install it, as well as change my coolant, do some safety wiring, etc, before the 25th. :roll:
    Good times.
