Changing coolant

[sorenson1610]

I'm going to be changing my coolant this year. Whats best way to drain it.......plug the bottom hose by the oil tank? Are there any other drain locations?

This is my process:

Drain coolant
Drain overflow tank
Flush system
Fill with fresh coolant
Run it to circulate everything and make sure there's no air in the system

Am I missing anything? Im using Yamaha coolant and might add some water wetter but not sure. I never had overheating problems in the past years

Thanks

Yeah, I just used that lower hose by oil tank.
Just make sure you have a big enough bucket or couple of them. There's more in there than you think! Ask me how I know.
