Hi,

I have a CBR 600 F-T 1996

I am in the middle of doing a coolant change aided by my haynes manual.

I have drained the fluid from the drain bolt on the pump, and the manual goes on to say "once the flow of coolant has stopped from the pump, position the container beneath the front of the engine and remove the drain bolt from the bottom of the cooler casing"

ready folks? here comes the stupid question. I can't find the bolt the above paragraph is talking about (there are no pics of it in the manual) so if some one could tell me (or a pic would be even better) that would be great.

Yours stupidly,

i um. never used the drain bolts. i removed the clamp on the rad hose on the left side below the engine, and it all drained out there.

 

same here. i didnt even know there was 1 drain bolt, let alone 2...

 

There you go.

 

yea, think id still rather pull the hose tho. looks as tho there would still be coolant in the system after draining from that bolt..

 

There is thats why it talks about a bolt in the oil/coolant heat exchanger. but I can't seem to find said mythical bolt.

 

pull the hose on the left of the engine i did by accident(dont ask) and it drained all my coolant without having the engine on then fill with coolant easy as! forget this mythical bolt there is no need for it.
