Doesn't help for this (or the next) oil change... But look into a fujimoto drain plug. Its a mini ball valve that is spring loaded (so you have to press the leaver up before you can turn it... Also has a 2nd safety in the form of a plastic clip that prevents it from being pressed up). Makes oil changes so easy. For your bike, it might still be too recessed, but the valve has a hose barb on it too so you can direct the oil into the drain pan
Fumoto, but yes.
I like the fumoto valves for another reason - if tou have an aluminum oil pan, the valve will keep you from wearing out the threads.
duuude amazing!
Seen a lot of complaints about these thing leaking over time in the car communities. No experience myself, but may be something to keep in mind, especially of you end up laying the bike over.
I've noticed mine is leaking, even though I torqued the drain cap exactly to spec. Maybe it needs a washer or something.
