Hi there. Looking for bit of advice. I have 2019 Gsxs f with only 2670 miles from new. Is it total overkill to do a coolant flush on a bike of such low milage. I know it says on manual to change every two years. Any advice out there trying to keep workshop costs down here in the USA. Thanks guys.

For my 2018 the coolant change is every 4 years. Would be surprised if they changed it for the 2019.

I have a 2020 GSXS 1000ZAMO my Z has less then 600 miles on bike do I need to worry about the coolant as I live in New England and my bike is in the garage but it's been -6 degrees here I don't want anything to freeze as I let it sleep for winter!
long life coolant is good for 7yrs, for those in colder climates i suggest draining about 500mls and topping it up with more concentrate to increase freeze resistence, 50/ 50 will be as concentrated as needed, i think almost any coolant will be sweet for 4yrs

I've always done bikes every 4 years, unless ive had to drop the coolant to do something else [having to get behind the rad for valve clearances springs to mind].
Thanks for the feed back
For me, I check mine with a anti-freeze gauge (one with the little balls in it) yearly. Once they show a difference in reading, I change mine. Most motorcycles aren't rode a lot, so I adjust my maintenance as I think needed.
