Honda CBR500R 2016 Operation Manual page 56

Maintenance Fundamentals
Do not use a steam cleaner, a high pressure
cleaner, a wire brush, volatile solvent such as
gasoline and benzene, abrasive cleaner, chain
cleaner or lubricant NOT designed specifically
for O-ring chains as these can damage the
rubber O-ring seals.
Avoid getting lubricant on the brakes or tires.
Avoid applying excess chain lubricant to prevent
spray onto your clothes and the motorcycle.
Recommended Coolant
Pro Honda HP coolant is a pre-mixed solution of
antifreeze and distilled water.
Concentration:
50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water
A concentration of antifreeze below 40% will
not provide proper corrosion and cold
temperature protection.
54
A concentration of up to 60% will provide
better protection in colder climates.
NOTICE
Using coolant not specified for aluminum engines or
using ordinary tap water can cause corrosion.
Crankcase Breather
Service more frequently when riding in rain, at
full throttle, or after the motorcycle is washed
or overturned. Service if the deposit level can be
seen in the transparent section of the drain
tube.
If the drain tube overflows, the air filter may
become contaminated with engine oil causing
poor engine performance.
