Couldnt you have just cracked the oil drain just enough until the amount you needed came out...Instead of sticking something in there...?
Jut saying, im not judging at all.

Glad its out tho.
I picked up one of those easy grabber tools yesterday. What you suggested is absolutely what I should have done. But my laziness got the best of me. I was getting ready to head out on a quick ride with my fiancé and I didn't feel like putting the bike on the lift........ Came back to bite me in the *** lololol.

Just remember to flush and clean after each use.
Anyway, I've had them for years in my garage. I believe I got the
metal one from an auto parts store.
Very innovative.
I was forced to come up with something to do the same job on an ATV I used to have when I wanted to change out the front differential oil and couldn't get the drain plug out.
So I made a vacuum rig using and old plastic jar and some hose - worked like a charm...
