This guide shows you how to replace the coolant or antifreeze in the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 and 701, as well as the Vitpilen. First, place the motorcycle on its centre stand and start by unscrewing the drain screw for the antifreeze located at the bottom of the water pump casing; allow the fluid to drain into a container for about ten minutes.
