I am looking for some input on changing the coolant on my bike. I can see what appears to be a coolant drain bolt on the clutch side and I assume that needs to be removed and the radiator cap.
Here is what I am thinking of doing:
1. With the bike cold, remove the drain bolt and the radiator cap and let the system drain.
2. Replace the radiator cap and drain bolt, fill the system with distilled water, run the bike for a couple of minutes and then drain the system again. Repeat this step after filling with distilled water again.
3. Replace the radiator cap and drain bolt, fill the system with 50/50 coolant and distilled water and run the bike again, adjust the amount coolant/water mixture amount as needed.
Yes this is the first time I have done it on a bike.
Thanks.
