do you use water or coolant?

Use coolant. Coolant is just another word for water mixed with antifreeze. Never use water on its own.

its fine to use water in the summer, It only becomes a problem if it freezes. That can crack the barrel.

Antifreeze doesn't just stop it freezing.

It has stuff to prevent corrosion in it. You would only use straight water in a race bike where you're not allowed coolant on track, on the road you always use proper coolant.

derbisenda16 you're a fucking muppet, stop giving shit advice.
