I just did a coolant change on my TDM 850 last night, and decided I should do one on the s10 as well being as the manufacture date is 6-2011. On all bikes and cars I have owned, there are multiple points where the coolant needs to be drained. Per the S10 manual I have, it says to only drain the water pump and overflow tank - there is no indication to drain the radiator. Has anyone tried this? It would seem that quite a bit of old coolant would remain in the radiator if the flush is performed per the manual.
Any feedback you have would be much appreciated.
PS – I don’t want to start an engine oil thread here, but what kind of coolant does one need to use? No silicates and aluminum friendly I already know. Would off the shelf 50/50 Prestone mix work?
