I use a 50-50 mix of ethylene glycol and distilled water. In other words, the normal green anti-freeze. Don't use the orange or other "long life" anti-freezes as they've got a history of problems in open vented systems like our bikes.

Remember, anti-freeze keeps its color long after its anti-corrosion properties are exhausted.
