Coolant is more of a minefield. You must avoid anything that contains silicates or borates. Look for stuff that says either "organic" or is clearly labelled "silicate and borate free". Anything with silcates/borates in will quickly ruin the mechanical seal in the water pump.

I use Motul Motocool "Factory Line" Organic+ (which is also the same stuff as Yamalube). Make sure you do not get tempted by Motul Motocool "Expert", that is not silicate free!

That's great cheers Pleiades. A huge help
I take it this would be ok?
