Cheers both of you for the advice.

I've heard that the Toyota red long life coolant (NOT the pink super long life) mixed at 50% is the good thing in a trailbike ome of the most aluminium friendly/silicate free coolant available.

Dealer actually has a new OEM cap in stock, so I'll grab it and do the coolant as well if I get time.

I do like the bike but fk me it's niggly for brand new.

The Metzler 6 days lasted literally 6 days....knobs ripped off everywhere and 60-70% worn down already.

I'm looking at Pirelli Scorpion Pro' or MX max's in the standard sizes as replacements, riding in hard rocky/tree root trails.
