What does it say in the handbook? Ethyline glycol is fine for aloominum motors, depends what yours is

Re: Coolant? - agricola - 24-08-19
Mix however much is required for the bike

Normally a 50/50 mix with deionised water, then use enough for your bike. Can buy di water from Halfords

Re: Coolant? - robbo - 27-08-19
For use in an engine I don't know if there's a great difference, but deionised water has all traces of minerals removed but not necessarily all traces of bacteria/virus. Distilled is the opposite, some minerals but no bacteria.
