Where is the motorcycle antifreeze located?

Motorcycle coolant can be added to the main radiator. The main components of antifreeze are: fifty percent pure water, forty percent methanol, and ten percent other substances. Method for replacing antifreeze: Drain the old antifreeze, then flush the fluid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the antifreeze reservoir, then continue to pour water into the reservoir so that it continuously flows through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. The water initially flowing out of the reservoir will have a faint pink color. Continue adding clean water until the water coming out is clear. Note: Remember to disconnect the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add the new antifreeze through the radiator hose—this allows the antifreeze to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another bottle of antifreeze to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As some air is purged from the cooling system, the fluid level will drop slightly. Add more antifreeze until it reaches the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.
