I never found a procedure, after 6 years I just drained both coolant lines while replacing the skid plate. There is a 10mm headed drain bolt in 2 different metal coolant lines that run parallel to each other after removal of the skid plate. I drained both of those and let it drip overnight. I suctioned out all of the coolant in the overflow jug, reinstalled both drain plugs, then filled the radiator to the top with 50/50 blue Asian engine coolant and the coolant jug 3/4 full. I got it up to 2 bars on the temp, then let it sit overnight and cool off figuring as it cooled it would pull coolant out of the overflow jug back into the radiator. I never had to add any coolant and it went to the TO, rode over 160 miles and never got over two bars.
