Yoni, Nothing wrong with coming here  for help - just wanted you to know that you can also quickly find answers to many of your questions by obtaining a service manual for your scooter from a source such as cyclepedia.com.

If you disconnect the hose near the coolant pump the result is the same. The coolant will drain out.

Why are you trying so hard to avoid the drain bolt? It's right there. Just use it.

Did mine this morning.  Now I need to go for a test ride and check things out. I'll top off the fluid,  if needed, and call it done.
