Hi so finally riding season is around the corner getting my bike ready before weather starts getting better and looking to perform coolant flush. I don't have a bike manual that illustrates where to locate drain bolts in order to flush out coolant. Anyone be able to point out where these are on a 2012 kawasaki er6n (650)?
Would be greatly appreciated.

Most bikes have a drain on the waterpump, will have a copper washer.

Pull the hose by the waterpump. It would get most of the fluid out. It will drain most of the block as well.

then flush the system a few times.

Also, this video is a pretty good overview of the process. It's pretty much the same on all bikes:

Would it be okay if I use any generic type of coolant for my bike ? or does it have to be a specific kind that my service manual asks for.
