    The water pump is located to the front of the clutch on the left side of the bike. There is a drain bolt on the side bottom. Open the rad cap and then the drain plug. Stand back it comes out quick.

    Suggestion: Don't use anti-freeze with the water wetter. Just distilled water, rust inhibitor and WW. Otherwise your motor will most likely run hotter. Unless your cooling system is big enough to cool the added heat. Glycol holds and maintains the extra heat and it's harder to cool the motor. So says the maker and I've experienced the same.
