Default Oil draining?

whats that plastic part that screws on to the motor like an oil filter with a hose attachment to drain oil.

I'm guessing that you drain the oil, take off the oil filter, refill the oil tank, put the scavenger on, start the bike, run till clean comes out, stop the bike, remove scavenger, install new filter, and top off oil tank?

Sounds/looks easier than some of the DIY stuff that I have seen where people remove oil lines and whatnot...

You need the quick disconnect tool to remove the fitting at the end of the return oil line so you can get the plastic tube over the end? I that the deal?

Words from Experience..

And remember one thing.. make sure when you attach a hose to the return line, that it's on TIGHT!
Smooth-Move here managed to pull a less than admirable job of spraying nasty oil all over the side of my scoot and pant legs when the hose popped off.

If you were there, you would have cracked a rib laughing at my sorry a#$!
I was less than amused though but thinking about it, if it weren't me that did it, I would have been in the floor crying in sheer uncontrollable laughter.[sm=icon_rofl.gif]
