    Default Coolant System

    Do anyone know where the drain plug is located for the coolant system on a 2012 RTS SE5 Spyder.

    It's on the bottom of the radiator. BUT, don't use it, it's a trap and will likely break off if you try to loosen the bolt!
    Pull the bottom hose off instead.

    Yes to what Drew said. Plastic plugs tend to create more problems than they fix.

    To everyone who gave good advice thank you very much. I could not find which hose to drain from so off to the shop I go.

    There are 2 large hoses on the radiator, one on the top and one on the bottom. Remove the clamp and pull the bottom hose off.
