Don't have a '21.. Most GG manuals say something about using only an ethylene glycol coolant. What does the Rieju manual say? Automotive coolant ethylene glycol that says "low silicate" can be used, but I prefer Maxima Coolanol it is designed for engines with very small rads & it is extremely low silicate. BTW.. What color is it?

You in EU or the States?

In the approvals section of the LM bottle it had mostly heavy duty equipment mfgs like Cummins & Volvo .

What does your selling dealer have in stock?

I use Engine Ice.
Not as messy when you spill some in the garage.

Engine ice works well BUT non-compatible with "green coolant"
Technically, you can use 50/50 green Prestone. I'm in NY too & I have never seen a shop that didn't have Maxima Coolanol? BTW.. It is green too.

I would normally top-up with distilled water until you know exactly what is in there.

when you replace it, mix 50/50 with cheap spirit vinegar, run the bike for a few minutes- untill it is at operating temp. let it cool down and drain.
flush out with water and then add the coolant of your choice. You will now know what to top up with
