I take the drain plug out of the water pump, then lift the tank and open the cap on the thermostat cap, the water will then drain from the pump (which is the coolants lowest point). Once drained replace the drain screw and top the water/coolant up. Once full put the cap back on and give the bike a shake and a bounce on the suspension, open the thermostat cap back up and top up. then start the bike and let t run for a minute or two then reopen the thermostat cap and top up if necessary.
Then fill the expansion bottle up to half way between full and empty (remember that your coolant needs to expand into her when hot....It is not merely an overflow reservoir.
