Either to my stupidity and quite a few others, Or it don't matter either way, The oil change bolts on a 00' 400ex.
I always drain the tank, The bolt that has a rubber seal kinda. IIRC its a 15mm 3/8's and an extension.
The oil filter is fool proof IMO. This side out, You don't know what that entails you need help. Bolts different size, Fool proof all around.
The motor, I have been told by many who own, Raced, Still have and race a 450 now though, That the oil drain on the case is the bolt under the oil lines. It cleans out all the clutch sludge and oil drains out. Im never over on oil, Takes about 2qts.
Then I watch a Usucktube vid of some bro hat wearing kids changing it with the main oil line that goes to the tank? Then the bolt behind the shifter?
I got on here and its shows the bolt behind the shifter? Other than that the same way I follow.
I have done this my way since day one, No problems until recently when my clutch started slipping and I stopped riding it. I abuse the clutch hard and it has well over 250 hours on it and two years. I bought it a couple months before I joined and had to hide it from GF, Thus most advice came from them and I had no problems.
Does it matter? I asked a few today picking up the last few things I need to change my clutch and got both answers?
Any help would be great and reasoning why one is better as well if you could? I always assumed and thought best, To drain the used clutch side oil out as it was closer too, And can get all the gear/clutch sludge.
Sorry for the long winded, Stupified rant, But just want closure for piece of mind.
