my advice: take the cap off the radiator, then remove the lower hose from the water pump. let all the "water" drain out, this might take some time if you have a thermostat installed. re attach the hose and refill the radiator with an aluminum safe premixed antifreeze. run the engine for about 10 to 15 minutes, let cool, and recheck the radiator and add coolant if needed.
if, what you say is true about the coolant, then it is IMPERATIVE to change ALL of the fluids on this bike. coolant, oil, and final drive. i would even suspect the brake fluid.

the only place an oil cooler can be installed on this engine is between the oil sump outlet and the external oil line. this would almost have to be cutting the external line and inserting the cooler. the oil sump outlet is located behind the starter at the bottom of the engine. (between the starter and engine). removing the starter will no doubt reveal if the external line has been cut to install the cooler.
