Its because it gets bad and corrosive to engine parts after two years of usage.

I will put red car coolant when i get my engine fixed. It lasts over 5 years. Polar premium longlife 8.5� for 5 litres.

And it doesnt matter if it is car vs motorcycle coolant cause engine cooling system is the same for both. You just pay more for "motorcycle" name on the bottle.
i changed the coolant because the bike is 5 years old and well overdue.

posted the thread/ photo/ video hoping it saved someone having to remove the tank to access the fill cap area
