might just leave it, as it maybe tricky and fussy to try and syringe it out to get it to the max level mark. As long as its OK to leave until the bike gets rid of the excess thats fine, although just had a thought....coolant isn't corrosive or anything? IE its OK to have it dribbling out the base of the bike short term until i get used to reading the levels etc and topping up only when required?

I`ll try your Muc off and ACF-50 tips this weekend. I`m not too keen on pressure washers due to tales of wet rectifiers and washed away cush drive bearings and prefer to do it with old fashioned elbow grease.

***Also any tips for the spokes as surprisingly a few are starting to rust a bit?
