To that I might comment that if someone thinks they need to carry spare coolant for a "weekend ride" they need to have someone look at the scooter.
Wife's 2013 GTV has over 25,000 miles on it and other than the time it had a head gasket problem while still under warranty the only time I needed to "top off" the coolant was after I had changed the coolant. I have checked it several other times and it is always right where I put it.
Now if by 'weekend ride" you are talking some Iron Butt challenge where the scooter will be running near flat out on Interstates then having some extra coolant would be nice. But if only worried about some random failure while out in the desert I'd just carry an extra bottle of plain water. Reasoning that if something did cause a loss of coolant you will be doing repairs as soon as you are back home and the short ride with somewhat diluted anti-freeze would be the least of your worries!
