Yep. All models are designed so you can do a full fluid and filter swap from the jiffy stand. Awesome design, imo. I do my own on all my bikes, and all from the stand.

If you get any drip from the Derby, it's usually from splash on the cover. If the oil is above the case hole, then it means that it was overfilled (won't hurt), or that you have crank oil coming over past the shaft (not cool).
