It is common for the overflow to go dry over time even if there is no coolant leak from steam escaping though the vent pipe and is also rarely checked.
If you fill it and it is dry in a few weeks then it's a problem and you have a leak. It it goes dry over a year or longer periods it is evaporation.
I use Castrol Motorcycle coolant ias a the safe option and it uses Ethylene Glycol which is recomended for the Fazer plus it is silicate free.
From my 50 odd years of experience many garages/mechanics never change the coolant unless they are specifically asked to or there is a leak in the system
Silkolen Pro cool is a Polyproplene Glycol and it is not recommended to mix the two.
Polyproplene Glycol is less toxic than Ethlyene glycol, but it is a sealed system so that would not matter. Just be careful and use gloves when using any coolant.
