I doubt if the coolant will make much difference. In reality the whole collant thing is just a simple heat transfer - from engine to collant and from coolant to air (at the radiator). If the bike is overheating there is a real problem that needs to be sorted before damage. Have you flushed out the radiator/ checked for blockages/ is the thermostatic valve working properly (if not it could be holding the temperature high) etc etc

If running very hot it could also be headgasket failure!

Cheers for the info guys.

Im 98% sure it aint a blown HG, i have a power filter and an after market can on there and the bike aint hasnt had any jet work done yet. I keep promising the bike that ill take it up there but stuff always comes up.
