if its anything like my old baby ninja, i could unbolt the radiator and prop it against the front wheel to get to the headers. its a bit of a pain in the ass to work around, but its easier than having to drain the cooling system. just make sure you wrap the radiator in a rag before you prop it on the front mudguard or you'll scratch it :roll:
