2011 Kawasaki Concours 14: Coolant Flush and Fill

You don’t have to do a full flush unless you suspect or observe rust, scale or lime in the coolant.
Otherwise a simple coolant change is recommended every 3 years or 24k miles - whichever comes first.

*IMPORTANT* Always allow the bike to cool before draining the system!
