well easiest way and cleanest way... would be to drain it all out... so I'd recomend either buying a new tub... OR... spraying the one you have out with a hose... or if your as anal as I am... thow it in the dishwasher.
while you have the hose out.... spray the cats... they're evil |

it'll take about 10 mins(if that)...Run the bike for about 5 mins to warm it up you'll need something to catch the extra oil in anyways... so you'll need to find something... TIP: When you loosen the drain plug loosen it to the last couple threads... put a ziplock bag over your hand... and unscrew it the rest of the way... count to one onethousand and reinsert the drain plug. tighten it finger tight and check the oil level. if still hight repeat... but I'm sure you'll be good after the first time... if your low... add a little... |

get a straw and suck that shit outa there wif yo mouf...
Nah but for serious, just carefully unscrew the drain plug after you warm the bike up for a few mins. if you're really worried about it, just forget about it until you can do it properly tomorrow night. dont risk not having a ride to work unless youre comfy w/ the job. |

im guessing it'll just do it again if you're not VERY careful unscrwing it. its gonna get messy, so wear gloves or somethin if you got em.

and if you do drop the plug... it's gonna drain ALOT more oil then you meant... so like I said... easiest way... would be just get a clean bin and drain it all... then add what you need back in... Quote:

it's nice when you can work on your shit your self huh... not have to worry about shops and paying them... and what not. I'm no mechanic... but I can do all the preventive maintenance to help make those times that I have to take it to the shop much more infrequent
