I did it in July '01 when I brought my used '99 home.  Seemed to go easy
as any other bike would.  I don't recall if there was a crush washer on
the water pump drain bolt but guessing there was, you'll want a new one of
those.  Also use a coolant with no silicates in it such as Honda's premix,
silicates kill MC water pumps.
