For the 1997 thru 2007 Honda Shadow VLX 600 use a 50-50 mixture of distilled water and ethylene glycol for maximum corrosion protection. DO NOT USE alcohol-based antifreeze or an antifreeze with self sealing propreties. Add the coolant at the reserve tank.

2005 Honda shadow vlx 600 type of coolant
The type of coolant that goes into a Honda Shadow 750 Spirit is Prestone Pre-Mixed 50/50. Do not use regular anti freeze.
I would use the Honda pre-mix.
Any antifreeze that will not hurt aluminum.
It really is best to get the pre-mix from your Honda dealer. Can't go wrong with this.
Basically you just need distilled water unless there is frost where you live, then you must use anti-freeze. You can also buy coolant with a higher boiling point at the local Honda dealer's or from other suppliers.
I recommend you go to your local Honda dealer and purchase Honda Long Life coolant.
No, you must use the correct Honda Long Life Coolant Type 2 or a comparable fluid.
