Any quick & clean way to Drain Antifreeze on an F3

[SPYD3R]

IS THERE A QUICK & CLEAN WAY TO DRAIN THE ANTI-FREEZE ON AN F-3....?
i can't find a pit-cock anywhere, and have been told that pulling the hose of each of the radiators is the ONLY way to drain it...

any ideas, suggestions....???????

From the cooling system diagram there is a "T" that joins both radiators lower hoses and could be a one step process. Not having one to look at don't know how easy it is to get to that spot...But no drain plugs or pet-cock valves on the radiators....

i found it Chu'ee....
page 89 of the F3 Manual.... another ryder faxed it to me...
and NO, there is NO drain plug of any kind... and it states to remove the BATTERY and then the HORN for more room to work in that area... BEEP BEEP....
THX for your consideration...

You have to remove the battery but not the horn then remove the clamp that holds the hose that goes to the motor carefully without damage to hose or T then remove hose off T bingo , go and buy a new screw type hose clamp and replace the fixed one you removed.
