So temps are getting near freezing so I decided to drain the Water with Water Wetter out of my Rad. I get my 8 mil socket and kneel down to the right of the bike. While holding the bike upright with my left hand on the tank, I take off the plug bolt. I have a glass 1 quart or 1000ml give or take measuring cup under to catch the liquid.
Well... nothing comes out. I figure its similar to when you dip a straw in water and cover it with your thumb, nothing comes out til you let off. so with one hand still supporting the bike, I take off the bolt/lock off the rad cap. As I twist off the cap, the Water/wetter mixture comes shooting out. It gets all over my legs and the floor. While still holding the bike I put the cap back on and do it the right way. :ban:
I tell everyone inside NOT to let the dog out just incase there is still some antifreeze from when i flushed it before. (can possible kill your pet if swallowed) So I go get a rag, wipe everything up, and go get the new antifreeze. Do the 50/50 mixture, pour it in and im on my way.
Tips: 1) Take radiator cap off first then slowly undo your plug bolt.
2) Keep pets away
3) Do not make rookie mistakes so you can get made fun of on a forum
