You can check the water tank on the left side of the bike under petrol tank. |

In a year and a half I've had to top mine up once. After 2 years you should flush the system out of the old stuff and put all new stuff back in.
I know when mine was getting low the temperature gauge went from a constant reading to one that was very much inconsistent. |

Best to use a mix of anti freeze and water all year round as anti freeze has many other usefull properties.

No, it's for you to drink when you get thirsty.

Yeah, never just use plain water, antifreeze also acts as a coolant in the warmer weather and also contains anti-corrosion agents. And dont top it up with tap water!!!
