Bike specs call for 50/50 mix and Tech put in 60/40.

Will make it more likely my engine will run hot on hot summer days.

Water cools better than antifreeze.

You have the ratio backwards. 60% water. 40% coolant.

Having said that, yes. Water does cool better than coolant. But let's say you filled your bike with 100% coolant. Your thermostat would still keep it at the exact same temp.

I run 80/20 in my 1000. Water to coolant.

I would NEVER run 50 50 in south Louisiana in the summer. But to be clear, it wouldn't make a damned bit of difference if I did.
