Thanks for all the hints and tips!
Update... had a friend with me who helped hold the tank up on its pivot for filling. Unfortunately the aftermarket immobiliser completely stopped us from bump starting, so a battery charger is now on order! Was forced to empty the flush and fill with coolant. Liquids all looked OK coming out though.
I've bump started the bike several times before in a space of about 10m in my mews and never had any problems. Always in 3rd gear though! And with enough battery charge to disable the immobiliser... :rolleyes
Also, anyone ever have any problems draining the coolant reservoir? The bottom hose is ridiculously inaccessible! In the end we had to feed the top connection (to the radiator cap) down through the bike and drain out of that by gravity! I have a syringe and tube on order for next time...
