Don't you know?  The @ is air cooled!  Those two large radiators flanking
the fuel tank are actually oil coolers!  Ha Ha.

Seriously, the coolant drainage screw is hiding behind the skid plate.  so
take it off, the lie down on the ground, on the left side of the bike.  Look
up and the bolt head is VERY near the horizontal frame tube.  Haven't done
mine before, but looking at the picture here, i'd say it's either a 10mm or
12mm spanner required.  BTW, the waterpump the part of the engine that's
shaped like a snail's shell (with two 1" rubber hoses leading into it)  Your
bolt is on the body of the pump.
