oil change tool
I have 500 miles on my new bike. I thinking about getting one of these tools to charge my oil with. Has anyone tried one? Maybe were not getting all the oil to drain out.

I heard that the oil scavengers are real messy.

Simple fix. After draining the oil, did I mention it should be hot, and before loosening the filter, start the motor, blip the throttle a few times and let it run 10-15 seconds. I will puke out another pint of oil.
No, it will not cavitate the oil pump. I have done it for years, 92000 miles and 25 oil changes on current ride.
After everything is buttoned back up, start the motor, blip it, and in 5 seconds the oil pr lite goes out. Works great and lasts a long time.
Adds about 45 seconds to the oil change procedure at no cost.

Filter is empty
Filter is empty level will drop when filter is full.
I've changed my oil several times now, on my 2009 ultra, and come up with the same thing. I let the oil drain for at least 1/2 hr. change filter. when I add the new oil, and put in 3 quarts, it comes up to 3/4 quarters on the dip stick. If I add 3 1/2 quarts like the manual says too, I end up with it over the dip stick and that's when it's cold, much less hot. Does anyone else find that 3 quarts is enough, and doesn't that seem like the wrong amount of oil, when they say it takes 4.
Thanks for any help Jonnierock
