water cooled barrels? help

[2006 _p1]

taking mine off tomorrow but as my engine is water cooled how do i take all the water out when taking the barrel off? thanks

On water cooled bikes I normally disconnect one of the coolant pipes low down on the engine and drain into a tray.

More importantly, make sure you fill it up correctly to ensure there are no airlocks.

Its a one year old bike, why are you taking the barrel off?

rs 125 i took the pipe of the head yesterday but there was still water in the head. how do i get it out?

I don't know the bike but isn't there a pipe lower down? if not then try disconnecting another pipe, there might be a vacuum holding the water in.


Guess someone with more specific knowledge will be here soon.

Hi

There is a small allen key bolt as a drain on the crankcases. Labelled "Aqua". Front of the engine near the front engine mount. On a different side depending on which engine your RS125 has.

All the best
