oil changing problem

[exrider416]

while changing oil i drained the oil tank, to drain the crankcase I took the bolt out below where the lines go in from the oil cooler can you drain the crankcase from there.

there is a drain plug in front of the shifter. take er out and that'll drain your oil out of there:D

be sure to torque your drain plug to spec. to load the threads appropriatly or it could vibrate out.

The bolt below the cooling lines is for crankcase oil level inspection.
