I made this video this morning showing the anti freeze cap. And showing the draing hose, but not sure. Listen to my video because you will hear me sweet voice complaining ;D How far i fill anti freeze ? Where i drain it ?

Open the radiator cap, your radiator cap is in the middle of your headlights, the other is your fill, you need to remove the bottom bolt out of your water pump which is on your left side of your engine, the one you were pointing to in your video. hope this helps.

Hulk the drain is on the water pump and here is a complete how to on draining it and burping the system. Also the level of coolant in the reservoir was OK, you DO NOT fill it up all the way. Don't know exactly where but there is a radiator and cap to this scooter and to fully drain it you will need to remove it. Also even though that hose is at a angle after draining ti you will want to fill it with ordinary water and drain again untill the water is clear.

Also here is a PDF instruction section from the YY250 service manual that gives help and pictures also.

You need to remember getting all the air out is very important and to properly burp it, any air in the system makes them act stupid.

Your radiator pressure cap should be near the top of your engine. I can't tell by the video but the cap you showed seems to be the overflow cap. The drain plug is just below the water pump which in your video you point to several times. It is the bottom allen wrench screw. Look at your video again and where you point to the clamp going into the water pump at the very bottom is the drain plug.

When you open your seat you should be looking at the pressure cap for the radiator, which is where you fill it. It also needs to be removed when you drain the old fluid out.

Hulk, I was sure I had him beat... I think he held my post then put in his. LOL

[hulk24]

Well I decided to go take a quick look at the scooter before going to Dentist. I did fine the radiator cap finally!! Check my video at the 1 minute and 8 second mark. You will see a red plastic cover behind the other cap. So I have to remove that plastic covering to get to the radiator cap that is behind the other cap.

I agree, the Dentist no place to visit. He had to rebuild my tooth. Just now starting to feel the pain The novocaine is wearing off. He said it will hurt for a few days. I just took couple of pain pills.
