Can any one tell me differences in motorcycle coolants, comparing
Mutool, Engine Ice, Maxima, Honda's non-silicate corrosion inhibitor
coolant, Prepboy's Proline coolant for aluminum engine, ordinary
Prestone 5 yr automobile coolant, recycled coolant?
I have a Tank-sports Motorcycle 250 cc Touring scooter (Chinese
scooter). I feel it is very low quality that overheat very often, even
I changed coolant to Honda coolant.

I think your last sentence sums it up. Good coolant won't fix bad
design.

Agreed, redoubled in spades.

Umm, my experience with Chinese products has been that QC is lacking upon
assembly.
The actual products are "close enough" copies of Japanese originals that
parts are interchangable in most cases and that the parts are of good enough
quality that many shops are subbing cheap Chinese parts for expensive
Japanese parts with no one knowing the difference.
Wire harnesses and connectors are another matter entirely. Most do qualify
as junk.

I wouldn't blame the coolant.
It's more likely that you have mechanical problems, such as air in the
cooling system, a stuck thermostat, the engine is running too lean, clogged
radiator, or an electric fan that doesn't come on. Sometimes foreign material
can clog up the water pump or the water pump doesn't turn when the engine is
running.
