Coolant Drain

[jmking42]

I'm doing my valve check on my 2005 Midnight Venture tomorrow and have a question.I got the bike seat,tank,air filters,surge tanks and carbs off.Next is draining the coolant.The manual says to take off the side covers,one of the mufflers and remove the exhaust pipe from the #4 cylinder.Is all that REALLY necessary to drain the coolant?

Do a search here. I read up on that a few months back. It is als recomended to flush with a vinagar solution to nutralize the old stuff.
