oil change with savenger?
I m new to HD bikes. Im about to do the first oil change on my 06 Night Train and I got a quick question about the scavenger tool form http://www.roguechopper.com/product-tcb.html. I watched the video and it looks pretty simple to do. My question is after removing the scavenger tool, how much oil comes out when the tool is removed. Im trying to do the oil change without too much of a mess.

A mess will be always probable but you can minimize it. The scavenger is basically a screw-on seal that forces the oil to bypass the oil filter. The amount of oil seepage is minimal with the scavenger on removal but you still need to remove the oil filter first, and this is where the mess comes in. You can cut a plastic coke bottle so you ca direct the excess oil when you remove the filter.

I've heard this device helps in keeping the mess to a minimum. I haven't tried it yet, but I have heard of similar products. Could be a pain on engines with the crank sensor mounted left of the filter.....may have to notch it out or something to clear.....Try the link below:

Also, make sure the hose is connected well to the return line unless you want to drench the side of your bike with old oil like I did.
All I could do was shut it off, get back away from it, and say to myself "smooth move ex-lax! Nice goin' McFly! Duuuumasss!".
One of my finer moments. hehe [:@]

RE: oil change with savenger?
thanks for the info. I dont have the savanger yet, but plan to get it soon. I might be doing the oil change without it first.
