It wont flow out the drain hole UNTIL you remove the rad filler cap under tank!!

That said, I remove the drain bolt prior to removing the filler cap. If there are any leaks the fluid should trickle out. If the fluid doesn't budge then the system is air tight

Just take the lowest hose off and sorted. You'll get a bit more out too because the hose is lower than the the drain bolt.

I think its only the yzf which has drain on cylinder

How many blokes does it take to undo a bolt? 

[fazersharp]

No need to take off the hose and there is no engine drain bolts just 1 bolt on the pump thats it.
cap on blolt out, bucket under- cap off ---take a pissing photo - kick bucket closer to bike as pressure drops.

Or just punch a hole in the rad with a flathead screwdriver it'll soon drain out. better yet kick the rad off then you don't even need the screwdriver
