1190 coolant

[stroller]

My bike was delivered with red colored coolant in, which I don't think is the Motorex 5 recommended in the owners manual.
Anyone know what the red coolant is and is it compatible with the Motorex stuff.
I asked my dealer and they did not seem to know

Does it really matter At the end of the day, they aren't going to put something in that isn't right for the bike...

Just ride it and stop worrying

Maybe it's running in coolant?

On a more serious note. I think it does matter what's been fitted from the factory particularly if it's not the same as available over the counter in the dealership as some coolants just can't be mixed

If the dealer doesn't know then KTM UK should

Contacted KTM UK twice - it seems they are too busy (or can't be bothered) to phone me back.
Spoke to one dealer who said it's OK to top up with M5 (that's what they do), then spoke to another one who said the red coolant is Motorex M3 which cannot be mixed with M5.
Go figure!!!
