It's premixed and never leaks.

Yeah, Stig! Those clouds ARE water vapor! We got 'em here and they ARE LEAKING!!

What coolant do I use? What came in the machine! From 2013...I know! Everyone says cflush and change. Been saying that since they started using ethylene glycol. I had a Dodge Aires K car new in 82 needed a water pump in 87 or so. Pulled the pump and the cast iron block was pristine, no rust and the coolant bright green. Later at 150000 miles had a coolant leak from head gasket. With head removal, passages in the head and block absolutely clean! Each time I reused the coolant and added to make up for losses during repair. Sold the car at 277000 miles with second water pump and most of the original coolant.

I leave what it came with new in for life---if going to extreme cold, do check for how low it is good to.

Switching to a Evans waterless coolent supposed to be good from -40F to 375F supposed to maintain the neutral PH level as well and last for life .  Since the Yamaha Majesty was in the shop for new tires and fuel pump will have them flush the system and add the new stuff. Will have them flush the brake fluid as well.
