Coolant questions, ZX14.

Coolant questions, ZX14.
Hi guys,
I have a new-to-me (and pretty new in general.. only <1300 miles) 2006 ZX14. I want to add just a tiny bit to the coolant, as I can see it's near the low mark on the left side tank and I'd be more comfortable with it closer to the full mark. How do you access the coolant reservoir/where do you fill on this bike? Also, what's the stock coolant in a zx14 from the dealer? I'd rather not go through the hassle of flushing the system since it's very clean, but I don't want to add something that is incompatible with whatever is in there. I'm assuming maybe it's Kawi Aluma-cool for aluminum engines? Is that like Dex-cool? What can I add safely?
Thanks!

My '06 10r manual says permanent type, color green, for aluminum and with rust inhibitors.
I would say that your 14 would use the same. But I do not have a 14 manual to double check.
Congrats on the low mileage ride. Get some pics up of the young gal.
