Coolant Change the easy way

[Jlq1969]

In my case, not a drop came out when I removed the drain screw (with the radiator cap tightly tightened). What happened to me is that I used Motul Hybrid coolant (light green, “fluor”)….and the truth is that you can hardly see it in the expansion container. As some of the original liquid (dark green) remained...they mixed and now it looks better in the expander container….

Many thanks to @2daMax for the tutorial.
Did it today with flushes of demin water as I don't know the brand of what was in there.

I'm not very handy, however, the tutorial made it easy.

A coolant change on these bikes really is easy and I just did this on my ’12 as I had removed the radiator for cleaning.
After refill I fired up it up and with the cap off, I watched the coolant level as it warmed up… almost no movement until I saw ~160F engine temp and then the coolant started swirling around (thermostat opened).
A small top off plus a drain and refill of the reservoir and all done. Btw, I used Prestone premixed 50/20 coolant (old coolant was darker green and yes, easier to see in the reservoir).
