    Quoted from google .....



    The procedure is simple, just undo the drain bolt near the water pump, in the left side of the bike, the remove the radiator cap (do this with a cold engine!) and the coolant will flow out (watch out it will come out with strength). Once drained, put again the drain bolt (torque: 11Nm) and do the same with the coolant reservoir, drain it and flush it with water, reinstall.
    Refill the reservoir to the middle, then refill the radiator up to the neck (remember to use 50% distilled water 50% coolant for aluminium radiators)
    Pour the coolant slowly so that it can expel the air from the engine and radiator.
    There are 2 air bleeder bolts, one near the water pump (left) and other near the pipe that connects to the upper side of the pump.
    Loosen each air bleeder bolt until the coolant begins to flow out the air bleeder bolt hole (that is, when all the remaining air has been forced out) , tighten each air bleeder bolt (torque: 7.8 Nm)
    Total amount of liquid: 1.2 L (reserve tank full level including radiator and engine)
    Start the engine, warm it up until the radiator fan turns on. Check the level in the reserve tank after the engine cools down. If the coolant is low add more coolant in the reservoir.
