U want to make sure that you start that trans drain plug by hand if you can... or use the allen wrench.... cuz those can be very very easy to strip.... and I am not talking about the actual plug.
Don't ask me how I know.

The Allen wrench on the head of the plug make it easier to remove and put back. Use a 5/8 socket to loosen the plug and then use the Allen to spin off the plug quickly before the hot oil gets on your hand. Using the Allen to replace the plug gives you greater sensitivity while threading it in, also it's harder to strip the threads with an Allen.
I like to use a lift to get under the bike and to place the drain pan under, my bike is low.
