Flushing cooling system

[jeremy_283]

I drained all the original coolant from my bike and ran some distilled water through it, will pulling the lowest coolant hose drain ALL of the distilled water before adding some engine ice?

I have always used another hose to blow air through the system to and take residual fluid out...

pulling the lower coolant hose should get out the bulk of it. you can try rocking the bike and squeezing the tubes from the radiator down to get any leftover. and one container of engine ice should be more than enough.
