        there is a drain plug in the oil pan just behind the filter housing. It is facing the filter. I think it requires a 19mm wrench. Also make sure you are on a level surface and you have the bike on the center stand.

            Let the oil cool first before you drink it.

              I will let it cool first before drinking. It was a 19mm. Now I think I will go out for a cruise. Its about 70 here today in Kansas City,MO

                What's wrong with a 'hot toddy'? To early in the day? It must be 5:00 somewhere!
