Best way to drain 650R coolant?

[rhythmofbeing]

It's time to put antifreeze back in the coolant here in Texas. Does anyone have a recommendation for a nice, easy way to drain the system? The last time I did it I ended up just disconnecting all the hoses and taking off the pump cover. It was a mess and it took a long time. Is there a better way?

It's funny you are posting this because I did the same thing yesterday. What I did though was pop open the thermostat housing. It's two bolts under the left side cover right behind the radiator. I got probably 90 percent of it out. Have a bucket or cup to catch it, or just do it on the lawn like I did. Have fun

I don't recommend you dump coolant on the lawn.

I'm not an eco freak, but that is not a good idea.

It was fine, I had the dog lick it up LOL Nah I did it on the far edge of my property. It's biodegradable so no worries from me

90% is a pretty good number. I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
