Any coolant that states it is Organic Acid Technology (OAT) and is borate and silicate free will do the job. The OE coolant (branded Yamalube) is Motul MotoCool factory Line and is readily available at reasonable prices.

Valve check is every 12,000 miles. The process of doing it and the gaps are the same for all XT models once you've got the tank, bodywork etc. out the way.
