Should have a hose off the reservoir. What are they thinking!

[@Winfredwkh]

Can you show how to change the coolant ? Not just refill, thanks very much.

[@_Zaid]

There's a single M5x12 drain bolt on the right side of the bike, directly under where the radiator hose goes into the engine. It's visible at 4:08 at the bottom of the screen, just above the crash bar. If you also want to drain the expansion tank you have to take apart a bunch of stuff to get to it, and it varies by what options you have.

Your coolant now looks green. Are you mixing different coolants?

[@twowheeltimmc]

@grantfryer1 I'm using the same type of coolant, but it just came in green.

[@johnmancuso2194]

What coolant to use?

[@twowheeltimmc]

It's a coolant by Maxima. Here's a link to the Revzilla site where I purchased it. I also use Maxima oil for both my motorcycles.

Terrible design to not be able to turn it open by hand for access
