Re: coolant & antifreeze
antifreeze = glycol or some other low freezing point liquid and corrosion inhibiting additives
coolant = antifreeze + water

Re: coolant & antifreeze
Easier than that.
Buy some decent quality antifreeze, pretty much any is ok for alloy engines these days. Buy some distilled/deionised water Mix them 50-50 and add bike
