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?

Be careful, its deadly to animals and humans if drunk and has a somewhat sweet taste. A cat or dog would lick it up.
Not really a problem for your bike but won't do paint on frame any good over time. Best to remove the panal, pop the top off and put a corner of a clean rag in the bottle. Leave it to soak the liquid up and it will become saturated with coolant by capillary action. That's the alternative to sucking or syringing. then clean the area with a good rinse in clean water. Another easy way is use a washing up liquid bottle empty of course. put a tube over the end. squash some of the air out of bottle and hold it squashed. Pop the other end of tube in the reservoir, let go of the bottle and hey presto, sucky suck suck.
Actually this process isn't really sucking, its making use of atmospheric pressure to push the liquid into the bottle to replace the vaccuum.
Happy sucking
