Besides going to the KTM dealer, are there any aftermarket brands that have no silicate in the coolant? What about the Porsche/VW coolant? It's the pink ones.
Update- Nevermind. I checked the label. Although it is compatible with aluminum engines, it also contains silicates. Boooo!

KTM in UK recommend Motorex products and this one is silicon free

Motorex Motorcycle M3.0 Pre Mixed Engine Coolant 1 Litre

So what if you can’t find Motorex products. What’s another alternative to the 3.0 coolant?

I am using Water Wetter in my motorcycles. It is also track approved by most organizations, as far as I am aware.

I found some with the similar ingredients as Motorex 3.0.

Please don't. We need silicate FREE, that's silicate ENHANCED. That stuff is VW G13, it leaves a silicate treasure trail from any leak point. It also gums up heater cores in longitudinal-engined Audis and VW Passats. I work on VW/Audi daily at my family's specialty shop, every winter we're trying to flush/free up heater cores before we replace them.

Ok thanks.

Old thread, but has anyone found a capable coolant on amazon? I'm in Japan and limited options. I don't want to spend $34 for a pint of motorex 5.0 just to top up the tank. Maybe I'll just use distilled water.

Engine Ice is the coolant I prefer

Do you have to flush and swap completely over to engine ice? Maybe I should being it's a 2018. Or I can top it off with distilled.

Motorex coolant specified per their spec sheet:
is an organic acid tech (OAT) ethylene glycol that's "silicate-, nitrite-, amine- borate- and phosphate-free".

Take a look at the spec on peak final charge global OAT. It's carried by O'Riley in the US

Full flush with distilled water. Drain oem coolant, fill with distilled warn run at idle till tstat opens , let cool down, drain, maybe do a second distilled water flush same process, then fill with engine ice and be sure to drain overflow bottle and add engine ice

I use a blend of water wetter, distilled water, and 15% coolant.

Pink Zerex Asian formula is the stuff.

Check out the front label. Silica free.

Worth noting that's a HOAT formula with a phosphate additive but is silicate free
