anyone?

umm

as for the draining the coolant, yeah, pull the hoses, and tip the bike over to let it all spill out, thast what i did, and im assuming that enigine braking would be bad, bad for the clutches i imagine, and coasting with your clutch engaged would not be bad if it was adjusted correctly, hopefully a more experienced rider will tell you more :)

on the water pump cover the last screw on the bottem should be the one that drains it

+1, your water pump cover has a drain plug. use it first, then pull the hoses.

Also there is a drain plug on the block as well

Coasting won't hurt your top end. Dirt hurts it, inadequate lubricant hurts it, detonation from lean carburetion or low octane fuel hurts it and lots of high RPM running will wear it sooner.
