If your bike didn't have any anti-freeze in, how could you tell?

Just started the bike for the first time in 2 weeks or so, started fine, got up to 70c without issue(took a while as it's bloody freezing) but the radiator was cold to touch. I only purchased the bike at the end of october so i don't know it's past.

Slightly worried now.

Cheers

Mad panic over, found the coolant tank and it's green Very Happy

God knows how to fill it up but it's at the perfect level for now.

If you had no anti freeze in it the worse that could happen if the water in the motor was to freeze would be that your block would crack in two.

Normally only a problem with race bikes, which aren't allowed to use anti-freeze in the cooling system, just pure water.
