How-To: Top off coolant on 2015 PCX 150

I have to do this without pictures because Photobucket no longer will allow you to post from their site without huge $...What a crock. Researching where to go.
So I looked here and doesn't seem like there is a quick how-to on this, so here goes:
First let me say I have 3000 miles on the bike, have owned it for 27 months and have never checked the coolant level, I've just used the sightglass , but lately, it's starting to look a little low. It's pretty hard to see the level without a flashlight. It was just slightly below the lower Mark.
So the first thing to do is take off the right side foot plate, it's seven or eight bolts, as I remember. Three of them being Allen heads.
Then pop the little access plate with a screwdriver and the cap on the expansion tank and look down in there, in the sun it's easy to see the level. Then start the bike, and fill up expansion tank with Honda Pro Coolant (it's already mixed, don't add water) there is a overflow hose at the top, so don't worry, fill up into the tank neck area.
Let it idle 2-3 minutes, and blip the throttle (lightly) a few times and watch the level. If it goes down some, that's because the air is bleeding out of the system, turn it off and refill it all the way up into the neck area and when it's stable, cap it.
Put back the foot plate and you're done. BTW, this is exactly how they tell you to do it in the shop manual in section 9.
Tools needed: Phillips head screwdriver and Allen wrench.
Good for another couple years.
