Oil change
 

Does anyone here stand their bike up to drain a little more from the tank when doing a change? Seems like a good thing to do. Manual just have you do it while on the jiffy.

My understanding is to drain engine oil on side stand. Straight up for transmission & primary oil.

Probably depends on the bike
The drain on a touring model is on the left side of the pan
It`s at it lowest point when ON the jiffy stand
YMMV

I have the tank that sits under the battery box, the drain line is on the right while the bike leans left, so is there much oil left in when drained?

Not enough to worry about

Ok thanks

A little
I'm anal enough that I do.
I even even pulled the plug that causes baby kittens to die
(the 1/4" or 3/8" (?) pipe thread plug in bottom of crank case)
Decided that wasn't worth the effort for an ounce or two tops

But leaning the bike "up" isn't a struggle or big deal for a little more dribble

I will say though, I'm sure no kittens will die if I don't tip up


..L.T.A.

No. People that do this kind of thing are just pissing in the wind.

That was an interesting video.
It looks like there was still a quart of old dirty oil left in the system after it was drained.
