I have only put about 250 miles on since my last oil change so I am trying to figure this out without having to drain the oil. I probably wont end up doing a track day until the spring so I guess I will just put it all off until my next oil change and then take it in.

Thanks guys.

Normally you can look it up for your bike...

But if that's not available for your older bike, I don't think you have much choice but to pull it and check. Just wait till this winter, pull it, check it, get/order the new one.

Besides,getting one at an oil change place will be cheap. If you bring it in while you're getting your car oil done they'll probably give it to you. In any case,it'll be cheaper than from a dealer.

Most track organizations don't require Novice's to safety wire....so if thats your concern you can probly get by w/o for a while.

Just use gum as an oil drain plug. Most tracks are cool with it.

One of the organizations that I may end up going with already require it for everyone.
