What type of antifreeze for the rocket.

[Rockhead]

Just traded off the sporty for a 2006 Rocket Special Edition. I noticed triumph calls for a special antifreeze, I have never heard of before? Closest dealer is 150 miles away, Where is the best place on the net for OEM Parts. Also needs a rear tire. I would like to take the tire off myself and take it to have it changed but it looks like theres no good place to put a motorcycle jack under the Motor. Sorry so long winded but I am excited about the new bike. Thanks, Any Replies Appreciated, Thanks.

If you have a Harbor Freight or Sears type motorcycle jack set it so the rear bar is under the frame lugs and the front bar will sit on engine sump. It will lift okay with no damage. Do a search for jack adaptors for pictures of brackets to make use of holes in frame.

And the "special" antifreeze is bogus. Universal green will work just fine. I've recently installed Engine Ice (Engine Ice High Performance Coolant) and don't expect any issues.

Lifting the Roc is not an issue. Follow the previous post.

manual specifies 3.2L of "Mobil antifreeze", mixed 50/50 with distilled water. Other triumph documentation says Hybrid OAT
