Flushing Cooling System.

How would I go about this? The ZZR I'm sorting has scummy coolant, Is it worth flushing it through or would just changing it be ok?

If you want to take the rad off flush it with a hose pipe. Otherwise fill it up and run it and drain it a few times. You can try disconnecting a pipe a putting a hose pipe on it but it won't flush everything. Restrictions like the pump might divert the water and only flush parts. Depends how thorough you want to be. And knowing you I would expect a call at the weekend asking me to come sort it for you.

Ill fix it with extra long bolts

Been a while since I did it, but I'm sure I removed the hose which returns the fluid to the radiator, drained all the fluid out, opened the radiator cap and put a garden hose in it and let it all run through for a few minutes.

There is quite often a lowest point from where the coolant can be drained,but whenever I have had to change coolant I have found that it was best to remove the radiator and to flush this seperately,as there may be debris still in the engine that might otherwise be washed back into the rad otherwise.
