Its on the side of the water pump, you MUST bleed this of any air after filling it back up or the bike can air lock and over heat.

If you find the water pump thats just infront of the front sprocket you will see theres a 10mm nut at the top front, you undo this and the coolant will come out. After you refill you need to loosen this a turn and air will come out followed by the coolant, retighten and jobs a gooden! DO NOT over tighten this as it is easy to thread due to the thread being slotted to allow coolant out.
