Need coolant advice

2011 Grizz 700 here and so far the only thing I’ve been told about replacing my coolant is that I should put the same color stuff back in that came out. But other than that nothing specific. A search through both the service or owner’s manual gave no coolant info other than capacity. Here’s a comparison of the old and the proposed new…

The stuff on the left, what’s coming out, is a blue-green. I’m second owner and only put about 75 miles on the machine, so I have no idea how old this coolant is.

Stuff on the right is the new coolant the guy at the car shop suggested, and is more of a pure lighter translucent blue. It’s Pentofrost NF, whatever that is. He said it’s what’s recommended for European, including BMWs. Here’s the bottle…

1985 fourtrax 250

Hey all, My quad wants to stall out when I’m in neutral or first and quickly go full throttle. It seems to have lots of power if I gradually go full throttle.
Also it will be running great for 5 – 10 minutes and it will all of the sudden bog down until I stall out. If I quickly take off the gas cap as it bogs down it seems to go back to normal. I’m wondering if my gas cap vent is clogged? Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
