^^Yeah, sometimes the stuff just doesn't want to flow out of the drain hole if you have the cap on the radiator.
It really bares mentioning that if you flush your system instead of just empty it and refill it, you will have a little mystery to solve. See, it is not possible to remove every last drop of the distilled water flush and there is enough left in there to throw off the 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water. I know because the coolant I mixed up floated four balls in my antifreeze tester but after running this stuff in the bike it would only float 3 balls. The coolant in the reservoir was not affected because it apparently does not circulate unless the fluid in the radiator drops in level.
Best thing to do would be to measure the volume of flush water that is removed including a full reservour. Subtract that amount from 3.8 liters which is the capacity coolant system. The difference equals how much pure water is trapped in the system. You know you will need to add an equal amount of pure coolant right away to maintain a 50/50 mixture. Something like that - Worth a try and maybe you will avoid putzing around draining the whole system again to richen up the coolant.
