Oil Drain
 

Cheers Guys, another excuse to mess around with the bike!!!:HappyRoll_ANPIUI:My missus thinks I've stored another woman in the garage!!

ive just pulled the plug out of mine their was abit so iam just leaveing it un plugged

The downside of this as JMo pointed out is that it will let unfiltered air get into the airbox, and thus your engine.

...... and with it being down there where it is it'll be very dirty air!

Barry.

the chance of muck getting up the pipe and in to air box is very very slim its only in the last few year the makers have been plugging over flow tubes for the eu crap

Kev, i take it you are ware that the drain pipe comes from the after filter side of the box?

yep not a prob, the chance of anything getting up their on my bike , more chance of me winning the lottery lol

Unless you go through a deep river? - when it could well act like a straw!

I'm no eco-weeny, but I do think that removing/replacing the bung is hardly a hardship. and would stop oil dripping out in-line with the rear tyre? - potentially a disaster, especially in the rain? - I agree with you the the primary reason is some silly Euro legislation - my XR/s vent to the open air, but the end of their tube is up under the seat, not barely 8 inches off the ground?

WHAT A DEEP RIVER LOL you got to be kiddin i would have to clean it again , i took it on the back field for some picks and got mud on the wheels i ended up cleaning it for 4 hours lol

Hee hee - I have a friend who is that fastidious with her KTM - she even polishes the header pipe!
