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.

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!
