| Re: changing coolant?? Not hard, just a little messy. I won't give a time as it is eaiser for some than others. You could be done in less than an hour or as much as three. |

| Re: changing coolant?? Pull the right mid fairing and remove the radiator cap. Remove the drain bolt from the water pump on the lower left left side of the bike. Drain coolant into a pan. I always bump the motor over to get the remaining coolant out. You should also drain the reserve tank by pulling the siphon from the radiator. Replace the drain bolt and refill the radiator and reserve tank. Run the engine for a few minutes to open the thermostat. Shutdown and check the coolant level in the reserve tank. Careful where you dispose of the antifreeze. I recycle at the local Jiffy Lube (free). |
