im half retarded and i run it in all three of my bikes the 2 that get ridden and ridden hard i change every year. and since the other one never gets ridden i have not yet changed it and its right at one year right now. 05x and it might have 20 hours on it and thats probaly weigh over from what it really has. if you ride hard and alot and its hot where you ride once a year. at 40 dollars a gallon use it sparingly

In most cases, coolant should be checked for 3 things: debris in the fluid, proper freeze point, and ph balance. IMHO, if it passes these 3 categories, there is no need to change it (unless you just want to).

If there is any other specific criteria, I would be interested in knowing of it.

IT will all depend on how much this bike is run as to how often you change it. Kinda like oil but not as often. LOL! I run it in my drag bike until I lose enough on the ground....then I change it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
