Title: Time for an oil change.
Post by: Rat Fink on December 21, 2013, 06:19:47 PM
I haven't had my bike for long.so decided to give her an oil change. Oh Dear is that the drain plug jammed very tightly above my Vance and Hines 4 into 1 ? Bother! so I have to remove the pipes to change my oil ? Anyone know a sneaky alternative?

Yes, there is an option. There is a galley plug you can remove and get most of the oil out. I am not sure which one it is. Others will need to offer up the answer you need.

Welcome to the asylum, Mr. Fink.

No, there isn't a galley plug you can remove to drain the oil, sorry Monkey.

The option is; he can remove the left oil cooler line at the oil pan with the bike on the side side it is will drain the pan.
