In a bit of a pickle and looking for some advice please.
As above its about the coolant reservoir, where should it be on the bike? has anyone replaced it with anything different?
also how do i go about draining the old fluid?, from what ive read there is a bolt on the water pump and i just undo this and drain the old, then do a mix of 50/50 and pop it in?
sorry to ask what might be a stupid question, there may be a few to follow though lol

I've also ditched the standard expansion tank and fitted the HRC kit

I tie wrapped the bottle to the coolant hose behind the right side of the the top radiator.
