As far as I can tell, as long as you use a nitrite free coolant suitable for aluminium engines, you should be fine. I've never used a bike specific coolant in my bikes and I've never had a probem. However, I do change it annually.

That sight tube is a nightmare to read,is black expansion tank the other side of the tube or is that normally totality full before the min max sign changes.
Yeah I much prefer riding than D.I.Y

When cold, the colant should be between the max and min marks. It's pi**ing down here so I'm watching BSB instead. Enjoy your ride!
